Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of predicting long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by using the European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE). Methods: Medical records of patients with CABG (n=3760) between January 1992 and March 2002 were retrospectively reviewed and their predicted surgical risk was calculated according to the standard (study A) and logistic (study B) EuroSCORE. In study A the patients were divided into six groups: 0–2 (n=610), 3–5 (n=1479), 6–8 (n=1099), 9–11 (n=452), 12–14 (n=103) and >14 (n=17). In study B the patients were divided into seven groups: 0.00–2.00 (n=447), 2.01–5.00 (n=1190), 5.01–10.00 (n=890), 10.01–20.00 (n=686), 20.01–30.00 (n=234), 30.01–60.00 (n=254) and >60.00 (n=59). Long-term survival was obtained by the National Death Index and Kaplan–Meier curves were constructed and …
