Background The most used mortality risk prediction models in cardiac surgery are the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation(EuroSCORE)(ES) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons(STS) score. There is no agreement on which score should be considered more accurate nor which score should be utilised in each population sub-group. We sought to provide a thorough quantitative assessment of these 2 models. Method We performed a systematic literature review and captured information on discrimination, as quantified by the area under the receiver operator curve(AUC), and calibration, as quantified by the ratio of observed-to-expected mortality(O:E). We performed random effects meta-analysis of the performance of the individual models as well as pairwise comparisons and sub-group analysis by procedure type, time and continent. Results The ES2(AUC 0.783[95%CI 0.765-0.800];O:E 1.102[95%CI 0.943-1.289]) and STS(AUC 0.757[95%CI 0.727-0.785];O:E 1.111[95%CI 0.853-1.447]) both showed good overall discrimination and calibration. There was no significant difference in the discrimination of the two models(Difference in AUC -0.016; 95%CI -0.034 to -0.002;p0.09). However, the calibration of ES2 showed significant geographical variations(p &amp;lt; 0.001) and a trend towards miscalibration with time(p0.0057). This was not seen with STS. Conclusions ES2 and STS are both reliable predictors of short-term mortality following adult cardiac surgery in the populations from which they were derived. STS may have broader applications when comparing outcomes across continents and time periods as compared to ES2.
