Both bleeding scores show strong validity in cardiac surgery; supports standardized use as trial endpoints.
Do the Universal and E-CABG bleeding scores accurately predict mortality and correlate with surgical complexity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Both the Universal and E-CABG bleeding scores perform well in validity assessments and improve mortality prediction, supporting their use as outcome measures in cardiac surgery trials.
