Does the combination of VIS score and RACHS-1 predict adverse events in children after cardiac surgery?
The combination of VIS and RACHS-1 scores can effectively predict postoperative adverse events in pediatric cardiac surgery patients.
Adverse events were quite frequent in children after cardiac surgery, especially those related to devices. The VIS and RACHS-1, used together, predicted the occurrence of adverse events well in this pediatric sample.
