Key result
The logistic EuroSCORE reliably predicted mortality with good calibration (P=0.12) and discrimination (ROC 0.80), whereas the additive model showed inadequate calibration (P<0.0001).
Why the study?
Does the logistic EuroSCORE model provide better predictive performance for mortality compared to the additive EuroSCORE model?
Observational (n=2,426)

Logistic EuroSCORE may be preferred for mortality prediction in cardiac surgery; leaves open need for prospective validation in contemporary cohorts.
Bartolo Zingone (2004) conducted an observational in Patients undergoing surgery (n=2,426). Logistic EuroSCORE vs. Additive EuroSCORE was evaluated on Mortality prediction (discrimination and calibration). The logistic EuroSCORE reliably predicted mortality with good calibration (P=0.12) and discrimination (ROC 0.80), whereas the additive model showed inadequate calibration (P<0.0001).
