    Objective: The aim of this study was to validate additive and logistic European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) models on Turkish adult cardiac surgical population. Methods: TurkoSCORE project involves a reliable web-based database to build up Turkish risk stratification models. Current patient population consisted of 9443 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2005 and 2010. However, the additive and logistic EuroSCORE models were applied to only 8018 patients whose EuroSCORE determinants were complete. Observed and predicted mortalities were compared for low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. Results: The mean patient age was 59.5 years (+/- 12.1 years) at the time of surgery, and 28.6\% were female. There were significant differences (all p < 0.001) in the prevalence of recent myocardial infarction (23.5\% vs 9.7\%), moderate left ventricular function (29.9\% vs 25.6\%), unstable angina (9.8\% vs 8.0\%), chronic pulmonary disease (13.4\% vs 3.9\%), active endocarditis (3.2\% vs 1.1\%), critical preoperative state (9.0\% vs 4.1\%), surgery on thoracic aorta (3.7\% vs 2.4\%), extracardiac arteriopathy (8.6\% vs 11.3\%), previous cardiac surgery (4.1\% vs 7.3\%), and other than isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG
