Early noncardiovascular organ failure and mortality in the cardiac intensive care unit.
Noncardiac organ failure has been associated with worse outcomes among a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) population. ⋯ Early noncardiovascular organ failure, especially multiorgan failure, is associated with increased hospital mortality in CICU patients, and this risk continues after hospital discharge, emphasizing the need to promote early recognition of organ failure in CICU patients.
