May aid preoperative neurological risk stratification in cardiac surgery; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Do preoperative parameters (such as EuroSCORE, LVEF, and carotid disease) predict adverse neurological outcomes following cardiac surgery?
Preoperative factors including Logistic EuroSCORE, LVEF, and carotid disease are significant predictors of postoperative neurological complications following cardiac surgery.
Chang et al. (2009) studied this question.
