IdentifierComponent of modelPoint score
FRAILFried Frailty Index class0 if classified as robust, +1 if prefrail, +2 if frail.
HHypertension0 if systolic BP on admission is <160 mm Hg, +2 if ≥160 mm Hg.
EExtracoronary arterial disease0 if no history of PVD, +5 if history of PVD.
AAge0 if age <85 years, +4 if ≥85 years.
RRaised Killip class0 if no signs of HF on admission (Killip class I), +2 if Killip class ≥II.
TTrouble dressing self0 if independent in dressing, +3 if dependent on others for dressing.
  • The FRAIL-HEART prediction model of the primary composite outcome at 1 year for older patients with NSTE-ACS managed by invasive strategy derived from the Cox proportional hazards model.

  • BP, blood pressure; HF, heart failure; NSTE-ACS, non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome; PVD, peripheral vascular disease.
