Abstract:
Risk-adjusted outcome analysis is pivotal for monitoring and improving quality of care. The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons established an online database more than 15 years ago. Several risk models and a composite score have been generated from the data included in the database. This report reviews the methods and applications of these risk scores.
