Description

Likosky et al developed a model for predicting the probability of stroke associated with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The authors are from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Fletcher Allen Health Care, Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, Catholic Medical Center (Manchester), Maine Medical Center, and Eastern Maine Medical Center.


Parameters:

(1) preoperative estimate for stroke risk

(2) duration of the cardiopulmonary bypass

(3) atrial fibrillation

(4) inotrope use
