Table 1. Risk Score For Drug-Associated QTc Prolongation
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).

Low risk = ≤6 points |
Moderate risk = 7-10 points |
High-risk = ≥11 points |
