Clnical Management Of Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation In Hong Kong

Abstract

A483greater LOS and 32.3% greater ICU LOS (both p< 0.001) than patients not receiving blood. In patients who received blood, total cost of hospital stay was 22.7% greater including blood product cost and 21.7% greater excluding blood product cost (both p< 0.001). ConClusions: Preventing or rapidly controlling bleeding in patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery would likely reduce patient risk and avoid elevated costs of hospitalization.
