Key result
Perioperative myocardial infarction following CABG surgery was associated with significantly increased intensive care unit time (7.1 vs 3.5 days, p < .01) and higher hospital costs.

Perioperative MI after CABG may increase resource needs; leaves open whether prevention reduces costs in prospective trials.
Cohort (n=2,102)
Yes

Absolute Event Rate: 7.1% vs 3.5%
p-value: p=<.01
Perioperative myocardial infarction following CABG surgery significantly increases intensive care unit time, hospital length of stay, and overall healthcare costs.
Chen et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=2,102). Perioperative myocardial infarction by postoperative day 4 vs. No perioperative myocardial infarction by postoperative day 4 was evaluated on Intensive care unit time (days) (p=<.01). Perioperative myocardial infarction following CABG surgery was associated with significantly increased intensive care unit time (7.1 vs 3.5 days, p < .01) and higher hospital costs.
