Greater preoperative illness concern associated with longer post-CABG ICU stay; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective confirmation before practice implications.
Cohort (n=212)
Does preoperative illness concern affect the length of ICU stay in adults undergoing elective CABG surgery?
Effect estimate: B 0.200 (95% CI 0.094-0.305)
p-value: p=<0.001
Preoperative illness concern, but not depression or anxiety, is significantly associated with longer ICU stays following elective CABG surgery.
Poole et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (n=212). Preoperative concern about the illness was evaluated on Length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (B 0.200, 95% CI 0.094-0.305, p=<0.001). Greater preoperative concern about the illness was significantly associated with longer ICU stays after CABG surgery (B = 0.200; 95% CI 0.094-0.305; p<0.001).
