Within the EuroDRG project, we define a CABG case as admission to hospital of a patient who undergoes a coronary artery bypass graft surgery (procedure code 36.1 in ICD-9-CMc). Patients aged under one year are excluded from the analysis. In order to compare structural differences in patient...
The mean age was 73 years and with a high prevalence of diabetes (58.9 %), chronic kidney disease (42.1 %), prior re-vascularization (coronary artery bypass graft surgery [36.4 %] or prior PCI [32.7 %]). Acute coronary syndrome was the primary indication for PCI in over 50 % of the ...
Arrhythmias are common after cardiac surgery such as coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Although most of these arrhythmias are transient and have a benign course, it may represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Postoperative arrhy
23 Given this, we used each hospital’s risk-adjusted coronary artery bypass graft mortality because it is a validated quality measure and would be inclusive of all patients in our dataset. Statistical Analysis The overall goal of this analysis was to evaluate the association between hosp...

A 12-year follow-up on the changes in health-related quality of life after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. OBJECTIVES Improvement in quality of life (QoL) and survival benefit are the primary objectives of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The profile... Hokkanen,Matti,Järvin...
There is some evidence that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may reduce the incidence of recurrent episodes of SCD by prevention of myocardial ischemia. To test the hypothesis that CABG surgery is effective in the prevention of SCD, we compared the recordings of implantable cardioverter ...
Revascularization was divided into three categories: PCI due to myocardial infarction, PCI due to angina, and coronary artery bypass graft. These events were determined based on inpatient ICD-10 codes and procedural codes 30 days after the index PCI. Any revascularization within 30 days was ...
BACKGROUND: It appears that the medical profile of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has changed. The impact of this demographic shift on CABG outcomes, such as sternal wound dehiscence, is unclear. OBJECTIVES: To quantify the incidence and trends of sternal wound deh...
