Preoperative calculation of risk for prolonged intensive care unit stay following coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract: ObjectivePatients who have prolonged stay in intensive care unit (ICU) are associated with adverse outcomes. Such patients have cost implications and can lead to shortage of ICU beds. We aimed to develop a preoperative risk prediction tool for prolonged ICU stay following coronary artery surgery (CABG).Methods5,186 patients who underwent CABG between 1st April 1997 and 31st March 2002 were analysed in a development dataset. Logistic regression was used with forward stepwise technique to identify preoperative r… Show more

“…In February 2008, the MEDLINE and PreMEDLINE databases were searched for studies on prediction models for PICULOS after cardiac 2,11,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] we further restricted our analysis to prediction models that used a threshold for PICULOS within the bounds of 24 to 72 hours.…”

“…Although both models were originally developed to predict mortality, authors found that those scores were also superior in identifying patients with an increased risk of prolonged LOSI [18]. The explanation given by the authors was that, in current practice, mortality has decreased over the last decades but morbidity has increased [19,20]. Because of advances in perioperative care in cardiac surgery [21], most of the patients who were likely to die time ago, will now survive, but they still have a higher probability of developing complications and in fact, prolonged LOSI.…”

“…Prolonged hospitalization in ICU increased costs of treatment significantly and consumed a lot of medical resources and equipments which can lead to the lack of bed for new patients to be admitted in the ICU after cardiac surgery. So sometimes it can lead to postpone some operations [12]. In addition, patients with prolonged ICU stay after heart surgery can lead to develop poor quality of life after discharge from hospital [13].…”
