Previous risk assessment scores for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have focused on primary prevention and patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, especially in stable CAD patients improved long-term risk prediction is crucial to efficiently apply measures of secondary prevention. We aimed to create a clinically applicable mortality prediction score for stable CAD patients based on routinely determined laboratory biomarkers and clinical determinants of secondary prevention.
