Structured PICO

Does a preoperative scoring system predict early mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing CABG?

Population

1,532 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CABG) (563 in development dataset, 969 in validation set)

Intervention

Preoperative scoring system based on clinical variables (gender, hypertension, pulmonary disease, reoperation, age, operative status, left-ventricular function, diabetes, kidney disease)

Outcome

Early mortality and morbidityhard clinical

A simple preoperative scoring system can effectively stratify CABG patients into low and high-risk groups for early mortality and morbidity.
