The EuroSCORE II is a valid and accurate predictor of in-hospital mortality for Greek patients undergoing cardiac surgery, supporting its clinical utility for risk assessment.
May support risk stratification in Greek cardiac surgery patients; extends EuroSCORE II validation but leaves broader applicability open.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the validity of EuroSCORE II in the Greek population. METHODS: A prospective single-center study was performed during November 1, 2013 and November 5, 2016; 621 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were enrolled. The EuroSCORE II values and the actual mortality of the patients were recorded in a special database. Calibration of the model was evaluated with the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, and discrimination with the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS: quartile: 2.46%), which indicates a low in-hospital mortality. Area under the ROC curve for EuroSCORE II was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.75-0.94), suggesting very good correct classification of the patients. CONCLUSION: The findings of the present work suggest that EuroSCORE II is a very good predictor of in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery, in our population and, therefore can safely be used for quality assurance and risk assessment.

Stavridis et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery (n=621). EuroSCORE II was evaluated on In-hospital all-cause mortality (AUC 0.848, 95% CI 0.75-0.94, p=<0.001). EuroSCORE II demonstrated good discriminative power for predicting in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.848.
