Readmission to the Intensive Care Unit Following Cardiac Surgery: A Derived and Validated Risk Prediction Model in 4,869 Patients.
To derive and validate a clinical risk index that can predict readmission to the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery. ⋯ From a comprehensive perioperative dataset, the authors have derived and internally validated a risk index incorporating 9 easily identifiable and routinely collected variables to predict readmission following cardiac surgery.
