title: [Additive and logistic EuroSCORE in assessment of operative mortality in cardiac surgery].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Patients benefit, reduction of treatment costs, as well as providing data needed for the science progress, are only some of the items that implicate the importance of preoperative evaluation of operative risk and mortality. In order to determine the risk profile of adult cardiac patients and identify the mortality in different procedures, a set of multicentric clinical studies has been carried out in the past decade. A study involving 19030 patients in 128 centers from 8 European countries was conducted at the end of 1995. Product of that study is EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation).
  
  
  METHODS
  In this survey we will point out the results of two different EuroSCORE forms (Additive and Logistic) which we applied in 145 cases of patients operated in Sarajevo Heart Center in the first half-year of 2007.
  
  
  RESULTS
  From 145 procedures 124 (85%) was bypass procedures, 18 (12.4%) valvular and 3 (2,6%) other procedures (dissection of AA, mixoma LA).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Aditive EuroSCORE model is use friendly and simple for bedside use. In mortality prediction Logistic EuroSCORE is more sensitive (exclude mortality in larger patient groups), and is also more precise in mortality prediction in all groups of patients.
