Over the last 3 decades, there has been a profusion in the number of cardiac surgery risk
score systems available (approximately 20 in current adult cardiac surgery literature). 1 One …

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 To compare 19 risk score algorithms with regard to their validity to predict 30-day and 1-
year mortality after cardiac surgery. Methods and results Risk factors for patients undergoing …

OBJECTIVE: Upcoding or undercoding of risk factors could affect the benchmarking of risk-
adjusted mortality rates. The aim was to investigate the effect of misclassification of risk …

Objectives: Risk-stratification in cardiac surgical procedures is of major interest. Recent
studies have shown, that the EuroSCORE is a very good and reliable risk-stratification score …

Objective: To construct a scoring system for the prediction of early mortality in cardiac
surgical patients in Europe on the basis of objective risk factors. Methods: The Euro SCORE …

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

Objective The use of risk prediction models in cardiac surgery makes it possible to compare
and evaluate health care quality between different institutions in countries. This study aimed …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To revalidate a local model for prediction of in-hospital mortality after coronary
surgery several years after its introduction and the EuroSCORE in a specific area within its …
