EUROSCORE II IS SUPERIOR TO STS AND EUROSCORE I IN PREDICTING OPERATIVE MORTALITY IN OCTOGENARIANS FOR ISOLATED CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING SURGERY

What is it about?

Octogenarians represent an increasing proportion of cardiac surgical candidates. Despite the availability of different risk-scoring algorithms, the use of these models is not well established in octogenarians. The objective of this study was to compare the recently introduced EuroSCORE II (ES II) with its previous version EuroSCORE I (ES I) and the STS risk score in predicting operative mortality in patients age80 years of age and older undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG)
