Key result
The EuroSCORE and STS risk scores both accurately predicted operative mortality, with the EuroSCORE showing strong performance in female patients (C-statistic 0.853 vs STS 0.827).
Why the study?
Does the EuroSCORE perform comparably to the STS mortality risk score in predicting operative mortality in male and female patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
Observational (n=3,125)
No

Both the EuroSCORE and STS risk scores are effective predictors of operative mortality in CABG patients, with the EuroSCORE serving as a viable bedside tool, particularly for female patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Both scores may aid CABG mortality risk assessment, especially EuroSCORE in women; extends observational calibration data but requires prospective validation.
Ad et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Coronary artery bypass surgery (n=3,125). EuroSCORE vs. STS mortality risk score was evaluated on Operative mortality. The EuroSCORE and STS risk scores both accurately predicted operative mortality, with the EuroSCORE showing strong performance in female patients (C-statistic 0.853 vs STS 0.827).
