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 …

OBJECTIVES Age, creatinine, ejection fraction (ACEF) score is a simplified algorithm for
prediction of mortality after elective cardiac surgery. Although mainly conceived for elective …

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: 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 …

OBJECTIVES The most used mortality risk prediction models in cardiac surgery are the
European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (ES) and Society of Thoracic …

Evaluation (euroSCORE) II performance for prediction of operative mortality after cardiac …

Objective: To study the relationship between predicted and actual mortality in a cardiac
surgical practice and to determine whether there is a consistent relationship across risk …

Objective: Logistic regression is most often used to produce a cardiac operative risk model.
But the logistic equation requires a computer to solve. Thus, simple additive models have …

Background—The revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) holds a central role in preoperative
