Observational StudyIn-Hospital and Long-Term Mortality in 35,173 Chinese Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Beijing: Impact of Sex, Age, Myocardial Infarction, and Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the independent risk factors for mortality, the correlation between female sex and mortality, and the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on prognosis in Chinese patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ These findings suggested that advancing age but not female sex, appeared to be an independent risk factor for post-CABG in-hospital and long-term mortality, and off-pump CABG may be associated with worse in-hospital mortality and better long-term survival compared with on-pump CABG.
