[Risk factors for operative mortality in 1,098 patients with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a single center report].

Objective: To analyze the risk factors for operative mortality in 1 098 cases of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures.

Methods: A total of 1 098 cases of CABG including 113 cases of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) lower than 35% from December 1999 through December 2009 were chosen for the retrospective study. Univariate and multivariate stepwise logistic analyses were performed based on the data of the whole group to locate the mortality risk factors.

[Investigations of influential factors of acute renal injury after coronary artery bypass grafting].

[Analysis of prognosis assessment with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation III, multiple organ dysfunction score and sequential organ failure assessment for the postoperative patients in cardiovascular surgery].

Objective: To analyze the clinical significance of the prognosis assessment with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation III (APACHEIII), multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) for postoperative patients in cardiovascular surgery.

Methods: Prognosis of 68 patients undergoing cardiovascular operation from February 2004 to June 2004 in our ward was assessed by APACHE III, MODS and SOFA. Then the scores were calculated and compared everyday while they stayed in Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CSICU).
