ABSTRACT
Risk scores have been important in patient assessment, such as, age, severity of heart disease, and comorbidity in patients undergoing heart surgery. Several risk scores have been developed to predict mortality after heart surgery. This paper analyzes data of the world, cardiac surgery reporting system, which contains information on cardiac preoperative risk factors, and postoperative complications.
