Risk Factors	Points
Age ≥68 y	1
Female sex	1
Loop diuretic	1
Serum K+ ≤3.5 mEq/L	2
Admission QTc ≥450 ms	2
Acute MI	2
≥2 QTc-prolonging drugs	3
sepsis	3
Heart failure	3
One QTc-prolonging drug	3
Maximum Risk Score	21
K+ indicates potassium; and MI, myocardial infarction.

A Tisdale score of ≤ 6 predicts low risk, 7-10 medium risk, and ≥ 11 high risk of drug-associated QT prolongation (Table 2).

Table 2. Risk Levels For Drug-Associated QT Prolongation
Low risk = ≤6 points
Moderate risk = 7-10 points
High-risk = ≥11 points
