Most cardiac surgery patients recover well; a substantial minority become critically ill after surgery. The epidemiology of critical illness after cardiac surgery is poorly described. We measured the association of prolonged critical illness with long-term survival and resource use after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Prolonged ICU LOS after cardiac surgery is associated with decreased 1-year survival and increased healthcare resource use.
