May inform operative risk stratification in AVR-CABG; leaves open mid-term validation and needs contemporary recalibration.
Does the EuroSCORE accurately predict operative and mid-term mortality in patients undergoing combined AVR-CABG?
Both additive and logistic EuroSCOREs accurately predict operative mortality in patients undergoing combined AVR-CABG, but only the additive score predicts mid-term mortality.
Kobayashi et al. (2009) studied this question.
