Thai Registry in Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRACS)--an extension of Thai Acute Coronary Syndrome registry (TACS) group: lower in-hospital but still high mortality at one-year.

Abstract

The TRACS registry showed differences in demographic, management practices and in-hospital outcomes of the Thai ACS patients. Although mortality rate in this registry decreased significantly as compared to the first Thai ACS registry, the results had to be interpreted with caution because of the difference in characteristics and severity of the enrolled patients. At 12-month follow-up, the mortality rate was significantly higher in NSTEMI than STEMI or UA patients. Practice management should be considered particularly for the invasive strategy for these groups of patients.
