The RACE Score
The RACE Score (Rapid Clinical Evaluation)
is specially designed for smartphones. This score avoids direct numerical data inputs
and limits their entry to simple categorical lists. The time needed for score
calculation does not exceed few seconds for each
patients. Moreover, the selected variables are readily available as
routine daily measurements for cardiac surgical intensive care patients.
The RACE score will be presented at the EACTS Meeting 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.
