Preoperative risk stratification in infective endocarditis. Does the EuroSCORE model work? Preliminary results.

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2007 Aug;32(2):281-5, PMID: 17548201

There is an important role for risk prediction in cardiac surgery. Prediction models are useful in decision making and quality assurance. Patients with infective endocarditis (IE) have a particularly high risk of mortality. The aim was to assess the performance of European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) in IE.
