Preoperative risk stratification in infective endocarditis. Does the EuroSCORE model work? Preliminary results

Abstract

This initial sample may be small; however, additive and logistic EuroSCORE adequately stratify risk in IE. Logistic EuroSCORE has been calibrated in IE, a special group of very high-risk patients. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to confirm these initial results.
