Dynamics in cardiac surgery: trends in population characteristics and the performance of the EuroSCORE II over time.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of the EuroSCORE II over time and dynamics in values of predictors included in the model.

Methods

A cohort study was performed using data from the Netherlands Heart Registration. All cardiothoracic surgical procedures performed between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2019 were included for analysis. Performance of the EuroSCORE II was assessed across 3-month intervals in terms of calibration and discrimination. For subgroups of major surgical procedures, performance of the EuroSCORE II was assessed across 12-month time intervals. Changes in values of individual EuroSCORE II predictors over time were assessed graphically.

Results

A total of 103 404 cardiothoracic surgical procedures were included. Obser
