EuroSCORE II (Simplified):
Score: 0
Default scoring assumes 0 for un-set fields.
Predicts risk of in-hospital mortality after major cardiac surgery.

Why Use

Aids in clinical decision-making by providing a quantitative estimate of the risk of operative mortality, which can influence surgical planning and patient management strategies. Use the score to support discussions about the potential risks and benefits of cardiac surgery with patients.

When to Use

Used during a preoperative evaluation to assess the risk of mortality for adult patients undergoing major cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting, heart valve surgery, or combined procedures.

Formula

Predicted mortality = e y / (1 + e y ) Where y = -5.324537 + ∑ β i x i Patient factors Variable Coefficient (β) Age* 0.0285181 Sex Male 0 Female 0.2196434 Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus 0.3542749 Chronic pulmonary dysfunction 0.1886564 Neurological or musculoskeletal dysfunction severely affecting mobility 0.2407181 Renal dysfunction ( creatinine clearance by Cockcroft-Gault formula) >85 mL/min 0 51-85 mL/min 0.303553 ≤50 mL/min 0.8592256 On dialysis, regardless of serum creatinine 0.6421508 Critical preop state (≥1 of the following in the same hospital admission as the operation: ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation or aborted sudden death; cardiac massage; ventilation before arrival to OR; inotropes; IABP or VAD before arrival to OR; acute renal failure, defined as anuria or oliguria <10 mL/hr) 1.086517 *For age, x i = 1 if patient age ≤60; x i increases by one point per year thereafter (age ≤60, x i = 1; age 61, x i = 2; age 62, x i = 3, etc).

Advice

May inform adjustments in preoperative management, surgical approach, or postoperative care to mitigate identified risks. Consider consultations with other specialties based on the risk assessment to optimize patient outcomes. Risk scores only provide a starting point in estimating morbidity and mortality. Ensure that other clinical variables, which may not be included in this tool, are also considered in preoperative assessments and planning.
