Key result
Adding adverse intraoperative events to the EuroSCORE improved the prediction of hospital mortality, increasing the area under the ROC curve from 0.857 to 0.874 (95% CI 0.83-0.92).
Why the study?
Does the inclusion of intraoperative events improve preoperative risk prediction for hospital mortality and prolonged intensive care stay in cardiac surgery patients?

Effect estimate: AUC 0.874 (95% CI 0.83-0.92)
Incorporating intraoperative events into preoperative risk models like EuroSCORE improves the prediction of hospital mortality and prolonged intensive care stay in cardiac surgery patients.

May support postoperative risk adjustment; leaves open integration into preoperative EuroSCORE models.
Șerban Stoica (2002) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery (n=3,118). Adverse intraoperative events vs. EuroSCORE alone was evaluated on Hospital mortality (AUC 0.874, 95% CI 0.83-0.92). Adding adverse intraoperative events to the EuroSCORE improved the prediction of hospital mortality, increasing the area under the ROC curve from 0.857 to 0.874 (95% CI 0.83-0.92).
