Socioeconomic position, not race, is linked to death after cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Health disparities have been associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. In cardiac surgery, association has been found between race, sex, and poorer prognosis after surgery. However, there is a complex interplay between race, sex, and socioeconomic position (SEP). In our investigation we sought to identify which of these was the driver of risk-adjusted survival. METH...
متن کاملFrom hope and expectation to unexpected death after cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE Relatives of patients undergoing cardiac surgery expect successful outcome but sometimes complications cause death. The aim was to interview relatives of patients who have died in connection with cardiac surgery and describe their experiences of information, reception and care.

متن کاملCardiac predictors of death after non-cardiac surgery.
Cardiac risk factors were studied among patients who were admitted to hospital with appendicitis or a fracture of the proximal femur less than one year after being admitted with myocardial infarction. Of 99 patients with myocardial infarction and appendicitis, 87 underwent appendicectomy; and of 221 with myocardial infarction and hip fracture, 179 were operated on. The patients were studied on ...
متن کاملInfluence of race on atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Despite having fewer risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), white patients have a greater prevalence of AF in the community than black patients, and a genetic basis has been postulated. However, it is unknown whether occurrence of new-onset AF after cardiac surgery is different in white versus black patients, and secondarily, other non-Caucasian patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Fr...
متن کاملCardiac troponin I is an independent predictor of in-hospital death after adult cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Although myocardial injury during cardiac surgery is associated with impaired clinical outcome, little is known about the prognostic value of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a cardiac-specific biologic marker. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the prognostic value of cTnI concentrations measured 20 h after the end of surgery in adult patients undergoing coronary artery...
