Why the study?
Does the logistic EuroSCORE accurately predict in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement?
Does the logistic EuroSCORE accurately predict in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement?
The logistic EuroSCORE significantly overestimates in-hospital mortality risk for patients undergoing surgical AVR, particularly in high-risk cohorts, suggesting it should not be used to deny these patients surgery.

Logistic EuroSCORE overestimates mortality after surgical AVR; leaves open its role in high-risk patient selection pending prospective validation.
