🫀 Cardiac Surgery Mortality Risk EuroSCORE II (framework)
EuroSCORE II estimates in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery from roughly 18 weighted variables in a logistic regression. This page frames the required inputs and links to the official calculator rather than reproducing the proprietary coefficients.
Coefficients are proprietary published values, so this page lists the variables and links to the official calculator instead of outputting an invented percentage. (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)

When to use
Use for preoperative risk communication and decision-making in cardiac surgery, integrated with the heart team's judgment. Group the inputs as patient-related, cardiac-related, and operation-related factors.
How it works
Logistic regression of ~18 variables → predicted in-hospital mortality (%). Patient factors (age, renal function, lung disease, prior surgery, etc.), cardiac factors (NYHA, CCS, LV function, recent MI, pulmonary hypertension), and operation factors (urgency, complexity, thoracic aorta).
Key points
- Coefficients are proprietary published values, so this page lists the variables and links to the official calculator instead of outputting an invented percentage. (original synthesis · not guideline verbatim)
- LV function is banded as good ≥51%, moderate 31–50%, poor 21–30%, very poor ≤20%.
- Surgical urgency (elective/urgent/emergency/salvage) and complexity (isolated CABG up to 3+ procedures) strongly influence predicted mortality.
