EuroSCORE (Logistic) Calculator
Estimate operative mortality using the original EuroSCORE I logistic equation. For context, the page also displays the additive EuroSCORE group.
Important:
EuroSCORE II is the current version for contemporary clinical use. This page implements the original logistic EuroSCORE I for historical, research, and comparison purposes.

What is EuroSCORE (Logistic)?
EuroSCORE is a cardiac surgery risk model designed to estimate the probability of operative mortality based on patient, cardiac, and procedure-related factors.
This page uses the original logistic version of EuroSCORE I and also shows the additive group for quick context.
Why use it?
- It helps frame preoperative risk discussions.
- It summarizes multiple major operative risk factors into one estimate.
- It is still useful for legacy comparison, audit, and research contexts.
Limits and cautions
- This is not a diagnosis and should not replace specialist judgment.
- EuroSCORE I is an older model and may overestimate risk in modern practice.
- Use EuroSCORE II for contemporary clinical assessment whenever appropriate.
Practical definitions used here
- Creatinine is counted only when it exceeds 200 µmol/L.
- Pulmonary hypertension is counted only when systolic PA pressure exceeds 60 mmHg.
- Emergency means surgery before the beginning of the next working day.
