MAGGIC Heart Failure Risk Score (1- & 3-year mortality)
MAGGIC heart-failure risk score: a 0-50 weighted point sum over age, sex, LVEF, NYHA class, systolic BP, BMI, creatinine, diabetes, COPD, smoking, HF duration, and beta-blocker / ACE-ARB use, mapped to 1-year and 3-year all-cause mortality.

Example
- Age
- 70 years
- Male sex
- Yes
- LV ejection fraction
- 30 %
- NYHA class
- III (6)
- Systolic BP
- 120 mmHg
- Body mass index
- 24 kg/m^2
- Serum creatinine
- 1.2 mg/dL
- Diabetes mellitus
- Yes
- HF first diagnosed >= 18 months ago
- Yes
- On a beta-blocker
- Yes
- On an ACE inhibitor / ARB
- Yes
Result: MAGGIC 28 points: 1-year mortality 20.9%, 3-year mortality 45.8%.

What the result means
- Interaction
- age and systolic BP are scored from one of three columns by EF tier (< 30 / 30-39 / >= 40) -- the published age x EF and SBP x EF interactions.
- Output
- the integer total maps to the published 1-/3-year mortality lookup (clamped to the 0-50 table). Creatinine entered in mg/dL, converted to umol/L for the bands.
