Why the study?
Does the occurrence of major post-operative morbidities reduce 3-year survival in cardiac surgery patients?
Does the occurrence of major post-operative morbidities reduce 3-year survival in cardiac surgery patients?
Major post-operative complications after cardiac surgery drastically increase both in-hospital and 3-year mortality, highlighting the critical need for risk reduction and long-term management.
