Poor calibration limits EuroSCORE II reliability; leaves open need for recalibration and external validation in contemporary cohorts.
Does the EuroSCORE II model improve mortality risk prediction compared to the logistic EuroSCORE in patients undergoing major cardiac surgery?
EuroSCORE II demonstrated good discrimination but poor calibration for predicting mortality in a single-center cardiac surgery cohort, without statistically significant improvement over the older logistic EuroSCORE.
Carnero et al. (2012) studied this question.
