Methods: Retrospective cohort study evaluating 983 patients with STEMI, obtained from a database of two leading cardiology institutions in Rio Grande do Sul. Clinical variables described for the TIMI risk score were tested using univariate analysis and multivariate analysis by logistic regression. Area under curve (AUC) was used to define sensitivity, specificity and discriminatory power of the score. Non-significant variables on multivariate analysis were excluded, and the discriminatory power of the modified TIMI risk score was calculated.
