Are the Initial and Modified Parsonnet scores predictive of operative mortality in adult cardiac surgery patients?
The initial and modified Parsonnet scores are predictive tools for operative mortality in adult cardiac surgery patients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support Parsonnet scores for risk stratification; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.
This study has been conducted in an effort to establish more suitable and accurate scoring model we use in everyday practice. Among the specific outcome prediction models, in 1989 Parsonnet et al elaborated a method of uniform risk stratification for evaluation of the results of cardiac surgery procedures. We have tested two forms of the Parsonnet score, Initial and Modified Parsonnet score, in our patients. In the first half of the year 2007, 145 patients were operated in Sarajevo Heart center. All operated patients in that period, have participated in this study. The overall hospital mortality was 4,13 (6 deaths). This study shows that the initial and modified Parsonnet's scores are predictive for operative mortality in adult cardiac surgery patients.

Kacila et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery (n=145). Initial and Modified Parsonnet score was evaluated on Hospital mortality. The initial and modified Parsonnet scores were predictive of operative mortality in adult cardiac surgery patients, who had an overall hospital mortality rate of 4.13%.
