Risk for the combined endpoint of post-operative stroke, MI and death according to pre-operative HADS-A values. The cut-off ≤ 6 was selected for identifying patients free of the combined endpoint. Sixty patients fulfilled a HADS-A ≤ 6 and all 60 patients (100%) were correctly predicted of being free of the combined endpoint. Thirty-eight patients did not fulfil the cut-off and 4 out of 38 (10.5%) fulfilled the endpoint. If the cut-off is fulfilled, we suggest an individual prediction; however, if the cut-off is not fulfilled, no individual prediction should be made
