Objectives: To compare the risk-adjustment model empirically derived from the 'Italian CABG
Outcome Project'with that of the additive and logistic EuroSCORE in terms of accuracy …

Abstract OBJECTIVES The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II
(EuroSCORE II) is an updated version of the original EuroSCORE that must be extensively …

Both versions of the EuroSCORE, the complex logistic and the simpler additive, have been
used for comparing institutional performance, but they are no longer robust enough to be …

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: EuroSCORE utilizes a probabilistic model for
predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It is a useful …

Objectives: Intra-and interdepartmental benchmarking require scoring systems with
excellent performance on several properties: discrimination (resolution), reliability …

OBJECTIVES Prediction of operative risk in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery
remains a challenge, particularly in high-risk patients. In Europe, the EuroSCORE is the …

Background The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II
has been recently introduced as an update to the previous versions. We sought to evaluate …

Background. Risk-adjusted mortality rates are used to compare quality of care of different
hospitals. We evaluated the EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk …

OBJECTIVES Since its development in the late 1990s, the European System for Cardiac
Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) has been the predictive model of choice for …

Objective: To verify the accuracy and precision of the logistic European system for cardiac
operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE) in high-risk cardiac surgery patients and to develop …
