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

What are the perioperative predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients aged >= 75 years undergoing cardiac surgery?
Severe underlying cardiac disease, prolonged ischemic times, and postoperative cardiovascular dysfunction are key predictors of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery, leading to disproportionate ICU resource utilization.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Severe cardiac disease signals high-risk elderly cardiac surgery patients; cohort data leaves open whether modifying predictors improves outcomes.

Rady et al. (1998) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery (n=1,157). Perioperative factors in cardiac surgery was evaluated on Postoperative morbidity and mortality. In patients aged ≥75 years undergoing cardiac surgery, the postoperative morbidity rate was 54% and mortality rate was 8%, with severe underlying cardiac disease predicting poor outcomes.
