Key result
Early mortality after cardiac surgery in end-stage renal disease was independently associated with infective valvular disease (p=0.02), poor LV function (p=0.01), and long cross-clamping (p=0.01).

What are the determinants of early and late mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing cardiac surgery?
In patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing cardiac surgery, poor left ventricular function is a key independent predictor of both early and late mortality.
Ashraf et al. (1995) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease undergoing cardiac surgery (n=48). Cardiac surgery was evaluated on Early and late mortality. Early mortality after cardiac surgery in end-stage renal disease was independently associated with infective valvular disease (p=0.02), poor LV function (p=0.01), and long cross-clamping (p=0.01).
