PG-HACKER MACCE score calculator

Prediction of Major Adverse Cardio-and-Cerebrovascular Events for Diabetic Patients after myocardial infarction.

■ The PG-HACKER score is based in a Fine & Gray model for competing risks.

■ A competing risk (CR) is an event whose occurrence either precludes the occurrence of another event under examination or fundamentally alters the probability of occurrence of this other event.

■ Kaplan-Meier methods are not suitable for modeling CRs, as they tend to overestimate incidence.

■ Fine & Gray models have use in predicting an individual’s incidence of an event (MACCE), taking into account the possibility that a competing event (all-cause mortality) occurs.

■ The point-based score transforms the time-to-event model into a simple set of operations, to facilitate its use in the clinical setting.
