Formula & Version
This calculator uses formula version 1.0, last reviewed September 2026.
Clinical Considerations & Limitations
- Implemented using the original published point-table (classic GRACE); the later GRACE 2.0 online risk calculator uses a continuous non-linear model and can give slightly different numbers.
- Point-table boundary values independently re-verified against Granger 2003 / the classic GRACE table during the STEP 4 QA review and confirmed accurate.
