The importance of independent risk‐factors for long‐term mortality prediction after cardiac surgery

Background  The purpose of the present study was to determine independent predictors for long‐term mortality after cardiac surgery. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) was developed to score in‐hospital mortality and recent studies have shown its ability to predict long‐term mortality as well. We compared forecasts based on EuroSCORE with other models based on independent predictors.
