Why the study?
Pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, prompting the development of predictive models for postoperative lung dysfunction and mortality.
Three logistic predictive models were developed to identify risk factors for mortality, postoperative pulmonary complications, and need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation following cardiac surgery.
