Socioeconomic distress is associated with failure to rescue in cardiac surgery

Delirium is associated with failure to rescue after cardiac surgery

“… 6 The phenomenon is generally thought to be influenced by hospital factors as much as or more than individual patient factors. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 Factors that improve hospital efficiency and capability or that provide a greater safety net for patients, such as rapid response teams or higher case volume, appear to reduce FTR incidence or have an association with lower incidence. 9 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 …”

Comparison of failure to rescue in younger versus elderly patients following lung cancer resection

“… 15 , 16 More recently, FTR has been increasingly studied in patients who undergo cardiothoracic surgery. 13 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 However, there is limited published data on this outcome measure for patients undergoing lung cancer resection, particularly in relation to patient-related factors that may potentially impact the ability to be rescued following a postoperative complication. The purpose of this study was to examine FTR in a younger and elderly cohort to test the hypothesis that elderly patients have a greater risk of death following postoperative complications from lung cancer resection.…”
