Abstract
The score developed showed excellent predictive power 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit for mediastinitis risk. This simple tool helps stratify patients according to this risk, thus identifying high-risk patients for preventive measures. In our patient cohort, Med-Score 24 performed better than other scores used for this purpose.
