    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study was to assess evolution profile of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) based on risk level by GRACE, TIMI and SRI scores in the cardiology department, Yalgado Ouedraogo university hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a prospective study of 111 consecutive patients admitted for ACS (mean age 57.61 years, 77.5% male) between January 1st and 2010 to May 31st 2015 in the department of cardiology. For each patient, risk scores were calculated and they were divided into risk group. Global survival at one month was described by Kaplan Meier method and prognostic factors were analyzed by multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS: The prevalence of ACS was 4.2%. Patients were admitted for ST-elevation ACS and non-ST-elevation ACS in 88.3% and 11.7%, respectively. Nineteen patients (17.1%) were admitted before the 12th hour. Hospital mortality was 8.1% and increased to 16.2% in one month. After risk stratification, one-month survival of patients with high risk, was shorter than patients at low-risk regardless of the score GRACE (log-rank=9.93, P=0.007), TIMI (log-rank=14.91, P=0.001) and SRI (log-rank=10.01, P=0.006). GRACE score (HR=1.01; P=0.002), TIMI (HR=1.33; P=0.01) and SRI (HR=1.02; P=0.01) were major prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSION: ACS remains a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality in the days following the initial accident. These risk scores are applicable tools in Burkina Faso as evidenced statistic C (GRACE=0.75, TIMI=0.78 and SRI=0.74).
