🫀 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.

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.
