Performance of EuroSCORE II and SinoSCORE in Chinese patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

CONCLUSIONS
EuroSCORE II could predict mortality in the entire group and in the low-middle risk group, but not in the high-risk group, in which it underestimated mortality. SinoSCORE overestimated mortality rates in the entire group and in all subgroups. Risk models should be targeted to different heart diseases, and the statistical methods of established risk systems should be improved.
