Key result
In patients ≥75 years undergoing cardiac surgery, the morbidity rate was 54% and mortality rate was 8%, with severe underlying cardiac disease, long ischemic times, and anemia predicting poor outcomes.

What are the perioperative predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients ≥75 years of age undergoing cardiac surgery?
In elderly patients (≥75 years) undergoing cardiac surgery, severe underlying cardiac disease, prolonged ischemic times, and postoperative physiological derangements strongly predict high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Warrants heightened risk stratification and perioperative caution in patients ≥75 years; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions.
Rady et al. (2001) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery in elderly patients (n=1,157). Cardiac surgery was evaluated on Postoperative morbidity and mortality. In patients ≥75 years undergoing cardiac surgery, the morbidity rate was 54% and mortality rate was 8%, with severe underlying cardiac disease, long ischemic times, and anemia predicting poor outcomes.
