Key result
Patients with both high EuroSCORE II and high SYNTAX scores had the highest rate of postoperative major complications after CABG (8.4% vs 0% for low scores; P=0.011).
Why the study?
Does the combination of EuroSCORE II and SYNTAX score predict early and late outcomes in patients undergoing isolated CABG?
Population
412 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting between January 2010 and April 2012.
Comparison
High EuroSCORE II and/or high SYNTAX score vs Low EuroSCORE II and low SYNTAX score

May aid early post-CABG risk stratification with combined scores; leaves open prospective validation for routine use.

Absolute Event Rate: 8.4% vs 0%
p-value: p=0.011
The combination of EuroSCORE II and SYNTAX score is useful for predicting early major complications after CABG, though only EuroSCORE II predicts long-term mortality.
Fukui et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring isolated CABG (n=412). High EuroSCORE II and high SYNTAX score vs. Low EuroSCORE II and low SYNTAX score was evaluated on Postoperative major complications (p=0.011). Patients with both high EuroSCORE II and high SYNTAX scores had the highest rate of postoperative major complications after CABG (8.4% vs 0% for low scores; P=0.011).
