Background Currently, we remain uncertain about which patients are at increased risk for recurrent pericarditis. We developed a risk score for pericarditis recurrence in patients with acute pericarditis. Materials and methods We prospectively recruited 262 patients with a first episode of acute peri...

Zusammenfassung:Background Currently, we remain uncertain about which patients are at increased risk for recurrent pericarditis. We developed a risk score for pericarditis recurrence in patients with acute pericarditis. Materials and methods We prospectively recruited 262 patients with a first episode of acute pericarditis. Baseline patients’ demographics, clinical, imaging and laboratory data were collected. Patients were followed up for a median of 51 months (interquartile range 21‐71) for recurrence. Variables with
