Aim: It is known that early prediction of the patients who may develop contrast-induced is nephropathy (CIN) and initiate prophylactic treatment to reduce the risk of morbidity-mortality, hospitalization and prolonged length of stay. In our study, we aimed to compare the Zwolle, Cadillac and Syntax 2 (SS-2) risk scores that are currently used in the management of and predict mortality in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in terms of predicting CIN development.
Material and Methods: We enrolled 1622 patients who were diagnosed as STEMI and underwent primary coronary angiography between July 2014 and December 2018. 1381 patients were taken to the final analysis and two groups; CIN - (n=1295) and CIN + (n=86) were formed. Risk scores were compared in terms of CIN prediction.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 62±8 years and 72% of them were males. SS-2, Zwolle and Cadillac scores were significantly higher in CIN+ group (all p values

Key words: Zwolle; Cadillac; Syntax 2 score; contrast induced nephropathy.
