The Austrian Health 2006 Structural Plan of 28 June 2006 requires that reference centres for heart surgery 'participate in result-quality registers (e.g. cardiac registers)'. The aim of the present study was to identify a suitable scoring model for the Austrian register during the run-up to its creation. During the period from November 2004 to December 2005 a survey was done of the actual situation, the organisational and economic possibilities, and the requirements of all Austrian heart centres. General and also specific Austrian basic conditions were defined. Scoring models were then classified and evaluated. The characteristics 'national and international comparability', the associated 'distribution of the scoring system' and 'detailed scientific discussion of the applicability' were found as the main criteria for selection. Economic aspects such as survey and analysis costs, and the everyday practicability of gathering data in the actual situation revealed by the survey, were also included in the evaluation framework. It could be demonstrated that under the given circumstances, the EuroSCORE represented the suitable predictive model.
