Euroscore Ii Is Superior to STS and Euroscore I in Predicting Operative Mortality in Octogenarians for Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

The jungle of risk scores and their inability to predict long‐term survival. The truth behind the mirror

“…3 In addition, the outcomes of octogenerians undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting appears to have a stronger correlation with EuroSCORE II compared to STS and EuroSCORE I. 4 Several studies conclude that neither EuroSCORE II or STS scores are able to predict the outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or Mitraclip. 5 Further uncertainty arises when looking at a previous study by Geissler et al, comparing six different risk scores that predict mortality and morbidity outcomes.…”

“…However, some studies found that the inclusive nature of EuroSCORE II for numerous procedures provides more flexibility than the STS score for complex procedures 3 . In addition, the outcomes of octogenerians undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting appears to have a stronger correlation with EuroSCORE II compared to STS and EuroSCORE I 4 . Several studies conclude that neither EuroSCORE II or STS scores are able to predict the outcomes of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or Mitraclip 5 .…”
