Key result
Among 12,016 patients, preoperative risk factors (e.g., lower ejection fraction) and hospital characteristics (larger size, lower volume) were associated with higher CABG discharge costs.

Do preoperative risk factors and hospital characteristics affect inpatient costs for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) hospitalizations?
Patient demographics, clinical severity, and hospital characteristics such as size and procedural volume significantly drive the inpatient costs of CABG procedures.
Saleh et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (n=12,016). Preoperative risk factors and hospital characteristics was evaluated on Inpatient costs. Among 12,016 patients, preoperative risk factors (e.g., lower ejection fraction) and hospital characteristics (larger size, lower volume) were associated with higher CABG discharge costs.
