Correlation of the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation-II (EUROSCORE-II) With Preoperative Score to Predict Post-Operative Mortality (POSPOM) in Cardiac Surgery: A Single Center, Retrospective, Cross- Sectional Study
In cardiac surgery patients, due to the surgical burden combined with existing comorbidities, evaluating the preoperative clinical status of patients and predicting mortality rates has become an important issue of interest for clinicians. For this purpose, mortality has been predicted with various scoring systems. EUROSCORE is a scoring system used worldwide that predicts preoperative mortality for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. POSPOM is a scoring system used for mortality prediction in all surgeries including cardiac surgery. In this study, patients who apply to Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Institute of Cardiology between 2020-2024 will be screened.The following will be recorded as postoperative complications: re-sternotomy due to bleeding, re-sternotomy due to mediastinitis, new transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebrovascular accident, need for hemofiltration or dialysis, use of an intra-aortic balloon pump, wound infection, sepsis, tracheostomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the power of POSPOM score in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and its correlation with EUROSCORE-II. Secondarily, it is aimed to investigate postoperative complications after cardiac surgery.
• Patients aged 18 and over, patients who have CABG surgery, valve surgery or both, and patients with on-pump surgery will be included in the study.
