Background—The calibration of several cardiac clinical prediction models has deteriorated
over time. We compare different model fitting approaches for in-hospital mortality after …

Background—The predictive performance of static risk prediction models such as
EuroSCORE deteriorates over time. We aimed to explore different methods for continuous …

Objectives Various risk models exist to predict short-term risk-adjusted outcomes after
cardiac surgery. Statistical models constructed using clinical registry data usually perform …

Risk models play a vital role in monitoring health care performances. Despite extensive
research and widespread use of risk models in cardiac surgery, there are methodologic …

Risk prediction models in cardiac surgery tend to lose their predictive performance over
time. This statistical primer aims to provide an overview of updating methods with their …

Background: Population-specific risk models are required to build consumer and provider
confidence in clinical service delivery, particularly when the risks may be life-threatening …

Objective To compare the performance of several risk-scoring models to predict surgical
mortality following open heart surgery. Design A prospective observational study. Setting …

OBJECTIVES The most used mortality risk prediction models in cardiac surgery are the
European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (ES) and Society of Thoracic …

Background: Several models for prediction of early mortality after open‐heart surgery have
been developed. Our objectives were to develop a local mortality risk prediction model …

OBJECTIVES Progressive loss of calibration of the original EuroSCORE models has
necessitated the introduction of the EuroSCORE II model. Poor model calibration has …
