Age, glomerular filtration rate, ejection fraction, and the AGEF score predict contrast‐induced nephropathy in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract

Advanced age, depressed EF, and reduced eGFR are independent predictors of CIN development after primary PCI for STEMI. The preprocedural individual patient risk can be clinically assessed with the calculation of the AGEF score, which is based on such readily available parameters.
