Description

Bashir et al reported logistic regression models for in-hospital mortality following surgery performed on the proximal aorta. One model is for patients undergoing nonelective surgery. The authors are from Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, University of Liverpool, University Hospitals of South Manchester, and the University of Manchester in England.


Patient selection: nonelective surgery on the proximal aorta

 

Outcome: in-hospital mortality (occurred in 16.5% of the cohort)

 

Parameters:

(1) age of the patient at the time of the operation in years

(2) history of previous cardiac surgery

(3) serum creatinine in µmol/L

(4) peripheral vascular disease

(5) preoperative nonsinus rhythm

(6) preoperative ventilation

(7) cardiogenic shock

(8) priority

(9) concomitant CABG operation
