Key result
EuroSCORE II and STS risk-scores showed poor discriminatory power for predicting mortality in Indian cardiac surgery patients (AUC 0.69, P=0.068 and AUC 0.65, P=0.15, respectively).
Why the study?
Do EuroSCORE II and STS risk-scores accurately predict mortality and morbidity in Indian patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Population
498 consecutive Indian patients undergoing cardiac surgery

These scores may not reliably predict mortality in Indian patients; leaves open need for population-specific models.

Do EuroSCORE II and STS risk-scores accurately predict mortality and morbidity in Indian patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.69 (EuroSCORE II) and 0.65 (STS)
p-value: p=0.068 and 0.15
EuroSCORE II and STS risk-scores show poor discriminatory power for mortality in Indian cardiac surgery patients and overestimate risk in high-risk patients, highlighting the need for a national database.
Borde et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery (n=498). EuroSCORE II and STS risk-scores was evaluated on Mortality (AUC 0.69 (EuroSCORE II) and 0.65 (STS), p=0.068 and 0.15). EuroSCORE II and STS risk-scores showed poor discriminatory power for predicting mortality in Indian cardiac surgery patients (AUC 0.69, P=0.068 and AUC 0.65, P=0.15, respectively).
