Euroscore II–Predictive Mortality Risk in Patients Undergoing CABG–Retrospective - Abstract
Background: Accurate preoperative risk stratification is essential in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). EuroSCORE II is a
commonly used risk prediction model for estimating operative mortality in cardiac surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of EuroSCORE II in predicting early postoperative mortality in patients undergoing isolated CABG.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational study included 73 patients who underwent isolated CABG at a tertiary care center over a six
month period. Data were collected from Medical Records Department case sheets. EuroSCORE II was calculated using standard preoperative variables, and
patients were categorized into low, moderate, and high-risk groups. Predicted mortality was compared with observed in-hospital mortality.
Results: The overall observed mortality was 8.2%. Mortality occurred predominantly in the high-risk EuroSCORE II group. A statistically significant
association was observed between EuroSCORE II risk categories and postoperative mortality (p = 0.00001). No significant independent association was found
between age or ejection fraction and mortality.
Conclusion: EuroSCORE II is a useful and reliable tool for risk stratification and prediction of early mortality in patients undergoing isolated CABG.
