The Mayo Clinic Risk Calculator Models for Prediction of In-Hospital Death (PCI and CABG)

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ risk model calculates the risk of operative mortality and morbidity of adult cardiac surgery on the basis of patient demographic and clinical variables. We have developed our own similar Cardiac Surgery Risk Assessment Calculator.

Comment:

The original EuroSCORE has been replaced with a new model, EuroSCORE II, announced at the EACTS meeting in Lisbon on Monday on 10/3/2011. In this new version, an additional risk factor "Poor mobility" has been added, while others, such as "Obesity" were omitted.

The SYNTAX Score is a tool developed in connection with the SYNTAX Trial, a trial comparing PCI and Cardiac Surgery in complex, high-risk Left Main and/or 3Vessel Disease patients.

Patients with unstable angina/non–ST-segmentelevation myocardial infarction (MI) (UA/NSTEMI) present witha wide spectrum of risk for death and cardiac ischemic events.
