Prediction scores and metrics are being increasingly utilized throughout the fields of cardiothoracic and congenital cardiac surgery to identify areas for perioperative optimization or guide therapeutic intent. Here, we review a novel submission by Yang and colleagues to the Journal of Cardiac Surgery identifying preoperative factors that predict adverse postoperative outcomes from cone reconstruction for Ebstein's anomaly.
