The New York Risk Score for In-Hospital and 30-Day Mortality for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
The risk score is a simple way of estimating short-term mortality that accurately predicts mortality in the year the model was developed as well as in the previous year. Perioperative complications and length of stay are also well predicted by the risk score.
