Key result
The EuroSCORE II performed better than the STS score for mortality prediction in octogenarians, with mean EuroSCORE II significantly higher in patients with mortality (8.1 vs 4.1, p=0.006).
Why the study?
The predictive value of the STS score and EuroSCORE II for mortality in octogenarian patients undergoing cardiac surgery needed to be investigated.

Supports EuroSCORE II preference in elective octogenarian cases; leaves open validation for urgent or combined procedures.

Does the EuroSCORE II perform better than the STS score for predicting mortality in octogenarian cardiac surgery patients?
p-value: p=0.006
The EuroSCORE II performs better than the STS score for predicting mortality in octogenarians undergoing elective cardiac surgery, though both scores are unsatisfactory for urgent and combined procedures.
Kuplay et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery in octogenarians (n=116). EuroSCORE II vs. STS score was evaluated on Mortality (p=0.006). The EuroSCORE II performed better than the STS score for mortality prediction in octogenarians, with mean EuroSCORE II significantly higher in patients with mortality (8.1 vs 4.1, p=0.006).
