DOIAbstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to compare Risk Assessment for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS-1), Aristotle Basic Complexity (ABC) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons – European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (STS-EACTS) complexity scoring models for predicting outcome after surgery for congenital heart disease. Methods: This retrospective study included children <18 years. Procedures were categorized based on RACHS-1, ABC and STS-EACTS system. Outcome indicators were prolonged length of ICU stay (upper 25th percentile) and hospital mortality. The stratification models were tested for calibration using Hosmer‑Lemeshow modification of chi-square test and for discrimination using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. ...
