Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
Clinical takeaway

Coefficients are proprietary published values, so this page lists the variables and links to the official calculator instead of outputting an invented percentage. (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)

When to use

Use for preoperative risk communication and decision-making in cardiac surgery, integrated with the heart team's judgment. Group the inputs as patient-related, cardiac-related, and operation-related factors.

How it works

Logistic regression of ~18 variables → predicted in-hospital mortality (%). Patient factors (age, renal function, lung disease, prior surgery, etc.), cardiac factors (NYHA, CCS, LV function, recent MI, pulmonary hypertension), and operation factors (urgency, complexity, thoracic aorta).

Key points

  • Coefficients are proprietary published values, so this page lists the variables and links to the official calculator instead of outputting an invented percentage. (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
  • LV function is banded as good ≥51%, moderate 31–50%, poor 21–30%, very poor ≤20%.
  • Surgical urgency (elective/urgent/emergency/salvage) and complexity (isolated CABG up to 3+ procedures) strongly influence predicted mortality.

Frequently asked questions

What are the limits and cautions when using Cardiac Surgery Mortality Risk EuroSCORE II (framework)?
For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
Does Cardiac Surgery Mortality Risk EuroSCORE II (framework) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
