Value of ATRIA risk score and gender in predicting adverse events in patients with myocardial infarction

I have read the article by Çetinkal et al. (1) entitled “Comparative performance of AnTicoagulation and Risk factors In Atrial fibrillation and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk scores in predicting long-term adverse events in patients with acute myocardial infarction” with great interest, which was published in Anatol J Cardiol 2018; 20: 77-84. In their study, the authors divided 1627 patients with acute myocardial infarction into three risk groups according to ATRIA risk score: ATRIA 0, ATRIA 1-2, and ATRIA >3. They reported that ATRIA risk score >3 was found to be an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events in this group. This is a well-written study, and I would like to draw attention to the gender-related differences that can affect the results of the present study
