Association between Hospital-acquired Disability and Clinical Outcomes in Older Patients Who Underwent Cardiac Surgical.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify the association between hospital-acquired disability (HAD) and prognosis in older patients who underwent cardiac surgery.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective, observational study included 141 patients aged ≥65 years who underwent cardiac surgery at our hospital from November 2016 to August 2021. The primary endpoint of this study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) within 2 years of hospital discharge.
