Mass-DAC Mortality Risk Calculator
Massachusetts Adult Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Fiscal Year 2007 (Oct 1, 2006 - Sep 30, 2007)

To compute the predicted mortality risk, select the appropriate age and risk factors, then click the Calculate button at the bottom of the page. Upon opening or resetting the form, all fields will have default values set (age=65, all others=0-No). If errors are generated, then all values will be reset to default.

This risk calculator should be used for informational purposes only. If you have questions or concerns about the risk factor results, please consult with your health care doctor or cardiac care specialist. The computation is based on data from all Massachusetts hospitals, and is not specific to any one hospital.

This calculator utilizes the same risk factors used in the Fiscal Year 2007 CABG Report available at http://www.massdac.org/sites/default/files/reports/CABG FY2007.pdf. Risk adjustment is a statistical process used to account for differences in patient sickness prior to their surgery. By entering the values for each risk factor for a single patient, you can get an estimated risk of mortality value for that patient prior to surgery. The final risk value will be between 0%, the lowest risk of a mortality, and 100%, the highest risk of mortality.
