Key result
The EuroSCORE risk-scoring system accurately predicted mortality in patients undergoing CABG (AUC 0.801), outperforming the Parsonnet (AUC 0.737) and OPR (AUC 0.677) systems.

Supports preferring EuroSCORE for CABG risk stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation across populations.
Demirdaş et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Coronary artery bypass grafting (n=2,120). EuroSCORE, Parsonnet, and OPR risk-scoring systems vs. Observed mortality was evaluated on In-hospital and 30-day postoperative mortality (AUC 0.801 for EuroSCORE, p=>0.05). The EuroSCORE risk-scoring system accurately predicted mortality in patients undergoing CABG (AUC 0.801), outperforming the Parsonnet (AUC 0.737) and OPR (AUC 0.677) systems.
