Question 22#

What does euroSCORE II estimate?

A. In-hospital mortality for patients undergoing CABG
B. In-hospital mortality for patients undergoing valve surgery
C. In-hospital mortality for patients undergoing cardiac surgery
D. Mortality and morbidity for patients undergoing cardiac surgery
E. Mortality and morbidity for patients undergoing valve surgery or transcatheter valve implantation

Correct Answer is C

Comment:

The updated euroSCORE II (2011) was derived from a large dataset where the primary outcome was mortality at the base hospital. It does not predict morbidity. EuroSCORE II provides weighting for the type of intervention, not just CABG.
