Key result
The EuroSCORE II model demonstrated modest discriminative power for predicting hospital mortality (C-statistic 0.743), similar to the original additive (0.754) and logistic (0.759) models.

EuroSCORE II shows no discrimination gain over prior models; leaves open whether updated scores meaningfully advance mortality prediction in cardiac surgery.

Does the EuroSCORE II model improve the accuracy of predicting hospital mortality compared to the original additive and logistic EuroSCORE models in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
EuroSCORE II provides solid calibration for hospital mortality in cardiac surgery but does not significantly improve discriminative performance over previous iterations and underestimates mortality.
Cemerlic‐Adjic et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery (n=1,247). EuroSCORE II vs. Original additive and logistic EuroSCORE models was evaluated on Accuracy of predicting hospital mortality. The EuroSCORE II model demonstrated modest discriminative power for predicting hospital mortality (C-statistic 0.743), similar to the original additive (0.754) and logistic (0.759) models.
