Key result
EuroSCORE II provides good discrimination for predicting mortality in general cardiac surgery patients (AUC 0.818), comparable to the STS model, though performance drops in highly selected subgroups.
Why the study?
Does EuroSCORE II accurately predict mortality in general and high-risk cardiac surgery patients compared to STS and older EuroSCORE models?

EuroSCORE II is a simple, easy-to-use model that performs comparably to the more complex STS model for predicting mortality in general cardiac surgery, though discrimination naturally decreases when applied to highly selected high-risk subgroups.

Nashef et al. (2013) conducted an editorial in Cardiac surgery. EuroSCORE II vs. STS model and older EuroSCORE models was evaluated on Mortality prediction (discrimination). EuroSCORE II provides good discrimination for predicting mortality in general cardiac surgery patients (AUC 0.818), comparable to the STS model, though performance drops in highly selected subgroups.
