One-year mortality of patients with ST-Elevation myocardial infarction: Prognostic impact of creatinine-based equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate.

BACKGROUND:Renal dysfunction is associated with worse outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, whether glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated with various equations can equally predict outcomes after ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is still debated. ME...
