| Summary: | Objective: To compare the feasibility of the EuroSCORE
and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk scoring systems
for predicting the surgical mortality of isolated coronary
artery bypass surgery patients.
Methods: The risk scoring of 148 patients who were operated
on between April 2005 and March 2009 was performed
prospectively according to the EuroSCORE and
STS risk scoring systems. The predicted and observed
mortality rates according to each scoring system were
compared.
Results: Hospital mortality was 13.2% (24 patients). The
predicted mortality rate according to EuroSCORE was
4.71±4.9%, whereas it was 1.17±1.35% for STS. There
were no significant differences between predicted and
observed mortality rates according to either scoring system.
The area under the ROC curve was 0.712 for EuroSCORE
and was 0.727 for STS.
Conclusion: Both scoring systems were efficient for predicting
mortality rates for our study. It is an advantage of
STS that it also gives valuable information about morbidity
but for our not found satisfactory. In conclusion new
risks scores for our country’s population are needed. |
