Key result
The logistic EuroSCORE model accurately predicted mortality in patients undergoing surgery for infective endocarditis (predicted 27.1% vs observed 28.8%) with good discrimination (AUC 0.84).

Does the EuroSCORE model accurately predict mortality in patients undergoing surgery for infective endocarditis?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.84 (logistic)
Absolute Event Rate: 27.1% vs 28.8%
Both additive and logistic EuroSCORE models adequately stratify surgical risk and predict mortality in high-risk patients with infective endocarditis.
Mestres et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Infective endocarditis (n=181). EuroSCORE model (additive and logistic) vs. Observed mortality was evaluated on Mortality (AUC 0.84 (logistic)). The logistic EuroSCORE model accurately predicted mortality in patients undergoing surgery for infective endocarditis (predicted 27.1% vs observed 28.8%) with good discrimination (AUC 0.84).
