Background The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) is
one of the most widely used risk models for the predicting mortality after cardiac surgery. The …

Background We hypothesized that the combination of a preoperative and a postoperative
scoring system would improve the accuracy of mortality prediction and therefore combined …

Abstract Objective: Validation of EuroSCORE outside the boundaries of the original
database has been limited to the additive model and has occasionally shown …

Summary Background: European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation
(EuroSCORE) is one of the scoring systems used to predict postoperative mortality before …

Methods Between January 2003 and December 2007, the data from a total of 1726
consecutive patients who underwent heart valve surgery at the authors' center were …

Objective: Because of national epidemiological differences in adult heart surgery in Europe,
the effectiveness and desirability of a pan-European score for the assessment of quality of …

Background: Comparisons between the EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II in the patient
populations for coronary artery bypass grafting are limited. The aim of the study was to …

Aims and Objectives: The aims were to compare the European System for Cardiac Operative
Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE)-II system against three established risk scoring systems for …

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

Objectives Risk scoring models (RSMs) are commonly used for estimation of postoperative-
mortality risk in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, but their prediction accuracy may vary …
