Key result
Preoperative vital signs, use of cardiac inotropic drugs, delayed regaining of consciousness, and postoperative ICU stay were identified as the most significant factors affecting surgical outcomes.
Why the study?
Postoperative outcomes depend on predictive factors for complicated ICU stays following open heart surgery, prompting an assessment of factors affecting post-surgery outcomes in hospitalized patients.

What are the factors affecting post open-heart surgery outcomes for hospitalized patients?
Preoperative vital signs, inotropic drug use, and delayed consciousness are significant factors affecting outcomes after open-heart surgery.
Elsaed et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Post open-heart surgery (CABG or Valve Replacement) (n=120). Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative clinical factors was evaluated on Post open-heart surgery outcomes. Preoperative vital signs, use of cardiac inotropic drugs, delayed regaining of consciousness, and postoperative ICU stay were identified as the most significant factors affecting surgical outcomes.
