Figure 1 Calibration of operative mortality observed and predicted quintiles of each risk model: A, European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE); B, EuroSCORE II; C, Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score; and D, a risk model specific to aortic valve replacement based on an Australasian population (Aus-AVR) score. The expected line (red) is the mean score for that quintile, and the observed line (blue) is the proportion of patients with operative mortality in that quintile.
