A wide variety of multivariable risk models have been developed to predict mortality in the
setting of cardiac surgery; however, the relative utility of these models is unknown. This …

OBJECTIVES EuroSCORE II, despite improving on the original EuroSCORE system, has not
solved all the calibration and predictability issues. We investigated the sensitivity, specificity …

Objective: EuroSCORE has been used in cardiac surgery operative risk assessment, despite
important variables were not included. The objective of this study was to validate …

Scoring systems have been developed in almost all subspecialties of clinical medicine. The
major task of a scoring system is to systematically determine factors that may identify …

OBJECTIVES EuroSCORE is used to predict operative mortality following cardiac surgery.
There are limited data to assess the ability of EuroSCORE to predict medium-to long-term …

In this issue [1], Nissinen and co-workers have attempted to improve the accuracy of
EuroSCORE (logistic and additive) by developing a new model which takes some of the …

Methods: This study was a single-center observational study from prospectively collected
data on adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January 2006 to December 2011 (n …

Aims and Objectives: To validate European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation II
(EuroSCORE II) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk-score for predicting mortality …

There are two versions of the EuroSCORE cardiac surgery risk model for mortality: the
logistic regression which provides a predicted probability of death, and an additive score, a …

Introduction This study presents a validation series for EuroSCORE II compared with the
previous additive and logistic EuroSCORE and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk …
