Key result
ICU readmission after cardiac surgery was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to nonreadmitted patients (19.2% vs 5.1%; OR 5.3, 95% CI 3.284-8.558).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to identify perioperative risk factors associated with intensive care unit readmission and in-hospital death after cardiac surgery.

ICU readmission after cardiac surgery is associated with a more than five-fold increased risk of in-hospital mortality, highlighting the importance of identifying preoperative risk factors such as end-stage renal failure and advanced age.
Holaubek et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery (n=2,789). ICU readmission vs. No ICU readmission was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 5.3, 95% CI 3.284-8.558). ICU readmission after cardiac surgery was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to nonreadmitted patients (19.2% vs 5.1%; OR 5.3, 95% CI 3.284-8.558).
