Summary

The development, application and interpretation of risk models is becoming an important activity in a number of surgical disciplines. In this paper, we discuss the many issues that arise when constructing a risk model, with particular reference to the development of a risk model for thoracic surgery. First, we briefly revisit the origins of risk modelling in cardiothoracic surgery.
