Article Synopsis
- Developed a scoring system to predict early mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing CABG surgery, distinguishing between low and high-risk individuals.
- Used data from 563 patients for development and 969 for validation, with logistic regression analysis identifying key risk factors.
- Found that specific factors like age, gender, and existing health conditions significantly influenced early mortality (1.8% low risk vs. 13.4% high risk) and morbidity (17% low risk vs. 41% high risk), demonstrating the system's effectiveness with ROC areas of 0.81 and 0.73, respectively.
