Early mortality in coronary bypass surgery: the EuroSCORE versus The Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk algorithm

Early mortality from off-pump and on-pump coronary bypass surgery in Canada: A comparison of the STS and the EuroSCORE risk prediction algorithms

“…Both algorithms were developed to score early mortality in cardiac surgery (30 days after surgery for the STS and during hospital stay for EuroSCORE) (1,2,11,14,15). Most studies have applied and some have validated these risk algorithms in isolated CABG surgery (2,4,6,7). Although their findings support the results of the current study, the conclusion remains controversial.…”

“…On the other hand, Riha et al (16) compared the outcomes of off-pump CABG patients classified as high-and lowrisk according to the EuroSCORE risk model, and concluded that the EuroSCORE was a good predictor of off-pump CABG outcomes. Other studies (7,17) have reported that the predictive performance of EuroSCORE at higher risk scores is lower than at lower scores. Different factors, such as the small number of highrisk patients, the demographic differences of patients among different regions, differences in lifestyle and differences in the nature of data collection might have contributed to these findings.…”

“…The accuracy and discriminatory ability of the STS and EuroSCORE risk algorithms have been compared and validated with other statistical models (3)(4)(5)(6). They have been applied to predict early mortality after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Sweden (2,(6)(7)(8). These models have been shown to be a good predictor of early mortality after CABG surgery in these countries.…”

EuroSCORE e mortalidade em cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica no Pronto Socorro Cardiológico de Pernambuco

“…It was designed to provide a predicted operative mortality up to 30 days in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It has been validated with good outcomes in Europe, North America, and Japanese populations [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. It has also been used to provide other useful parameters, including long-term mortality [10], the length of stay in the intensive care units (ICU) [11], complications [12,13], and costs in cardiac surgery [11,14].…”

Evaluation of the EuroSCORE risk scoring model for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a word of caution

“…When the STS risk scoring model was compared with the EuroSCORE in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), Ad et al 21 found both models to be good predictors of operative mortality with a slight advantage for the STS model. However, Nilsson et al 22 found that the additive EuroSCORE had a better discriminatory power compared with the STS risk model.…”
