[Validation of the EuroSCORE probabilistic model in patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting].

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2008 Jun;61(6):589-94, PMID: 18570779

EuroSCORE utilizes a probabilistic model for predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It is a useful instrument for evaluating quality of care. The model has two variants: the logistic EuroSCORE and the additive EuroSCORE. The aim of this study was to validate the EuroSCORE model in patients undergoing surgery at Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, Spain, and to compare the results obtained with the two variants.
