EuroSCORE II is a Good Predictor of Mortality in Isolated Coronary Surgery

Purpose: The additive and logistic European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) models have been used since 1999 and 2003 respectively. The considerable improvement in cardiac surgery, during the past decade, mostly due to technological progress and changed patient risk profile, affected the precision of current scoring systems in establishing the real operative risk. For this reason, the new EuroSCORE II model was introduced in 2012. The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic value, sensitivity and specificity of the EuroSCORE II model in cardiac surgery.
