Key result
In a discussed cohort of 22,570 cardiac surgery patients, 1-year mortality was 5.6% for those with an acute risk change >0 compared to 3.5% for those with <0, which the author attributes to score calibration and unmeasured heterogeneity.

This editorial highlights the methodological pitfalls of calculating acute risk change by subtracting two differently calibrated risk scores (AusScore and APACHE 3) in cardiac surgery patients.
Absolute Event Rate: 5.6% vs 3.5%
This editorial highlights the methodological pitfalls of calculating acute risk change by subtracting two differently calibrated risk scores (AusScore and APACHE 3) in cardiac surgery patients.
J. B. Carlisle (2017) conducted an editorial in Cardiac surgery (n=22,570). Acute risk change (ARC) > 0 vs. ARC < 0 was evaluated on Mortality at 1 year. In a discussed cohort of 22,570 cardiac surgery patients, 1-year mortality was 5.6% for those with an acute risk change >0 compared to 3.5% for those with <0, which the author attributes to score calibration and unmeasured heterogeneity.
