Can a new scoring system (German AV Score) accurately predict in-hospital mortality for adults undergoing aortic valve procedures?
The German AV Score provides a validated, risk-adjusted tool with good discrimination (AUC 0.808) for predicting in-hospital mortality in adults undergoing conventional aortic valve surgery or TAVI in Germany.
Kötting et al. (2013) studied this question.
