Why the study?
Does the Euroscoring System accurately predict hospital mortality in patients undergoing CABG surgery?
Does the Euroscoring System accurately predict hospital mortality in patients undergoing CABG surgery?
While the Euroscoring system has high overall predictive accuracy for hospital mortality in CABG patients, it overestimates mortality and has a low positive predictive value, suggesting the need for a localized scoring system.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
EuroSCORE may overestimate CABG mortality given low PPV; leaves open whether localized models improve prediction in this population.
