Predicting and examining outcomes in patients at high risk of extended intensive care unit stay after cardiac surgery

Background The proportion of people >60 years of age is projected to double from 11% to 22% by 2050 High risk patients, with significant co-morbidities, who are undergoing major cardiac surgery has increased up to 18% in the last 5 years. Up to 11% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery endure pr...
