EuroSCORE

EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) is a tool used by doctors to estimate the risk of death from heart surgery. It considers factors like age, gender, overall health, and specific heart conditions to provide a score indicating the likelihood of a successful outcome. This helps both medical teams and patients make informed decisions about whether to proceed with surgery and how to prepare for potential risks. While it doesn't guarantee exact outcomes, EuroSCORE offers a valuable, standardized way to assess surgical risk based on individual health profiles.
