Background—Several mortality risk scores exist in cardiac surgery. All include a
considerable number of independent risk factors. In elective cardiac surgery patients, the …

OBJECTIVE: Age, preoperative creatinine value, and ejection fraction are easily arranged in
the age, creatinine, ejection fraction score to predict operative mortality in elective cardiac …

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 …

Background—Perioperative myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. The Revised Cardiac Risk Index is currently the most …

A wide variety of risk stratification systems have been developed to quantify the risk of
cardiac surgery. Generally, the focus has been on mortality; however, more recently models …

PURPOSE: The Lee risk index was developed to predict major cardiac complications in
noncardiac surgery. We retrospectively evaluated its ability to predict cardiovascular death …

Background Accurately assessing the probability of perioperative mortality can be useful in
preoperative risk assessment and management. This study aimed to revise and customize …

Objective: Our purpose was to compare the performance of risk stratification model between
Parsonnet and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) in …

Background—Risk indexes for operative mortality after cardiac surgery are used for
comparative profiling of surgeons or centers. We examined whether clinicians and …

Background: The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is widely used to predict perioperative
cardiac complications. Purpose: To evaluate the ability of the RCRI to predict cardiac …
