Outcomes and risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with low ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The patients were categorized into a in-hospital mortality group (n=38) and a in-hospital survival group (n=727), based on whether they died within 30 days post-operation. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality.

Clinical characteristics and mortality risk factors in pediatric hypertrophic, restrictive, and rapidly progressive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a retrospective cohort study with follow-up

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Logistic and Cox regression models identified risk factors for in-hospital and long-term mortality.ResultsAmong the 212 patients, 79.72% (169/212) had HCM, 16.98% (36/212) had RCM, and 3.30% (7/212) had RP-HCM. In-hospital mortality was 5.19% (11/212), with follow-up mortality of 20.28% (43/212).

Development and validation of a prediction model of hospital mortality for patients with cardiac arrest survived 24 hours after cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveResearch on predictive models for hospital mortality in patients who have survived 24h following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is limited. Of these, 213 patients were dead in the hospital. were independent risk factors for hospital mortality for patients who survived 24h after CPR.
