We report a parsimonious risk-stratification model that estimates the probability of being discharged to a SNF following TAVR. Our findings will facilitate making informed treatment decisions regarding this older patient population.]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 18:58:31 AEST ]]> Long-term survival after cardiac surgury in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30177 P Trend < .001). Conclusions: COPD and PLOS are 2 of many factors that affect long-term mortality in postoperative CABG patients. Aggressive treatment strategies aimed at early weaning off of mechanical ventilation and prevention of reintubation among COPD patients must be considered carefully as a means to reduce length of stay after CABG. Our results also have important implications for the long-term management of these patients and strategies for containing costs over the life course of the patient.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:16 AEDT ]]> Comparison of risk of atrial fibrillation in black versus white patients after coronary artery bypass grafting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30184 interaction = 0.0009).]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 14:02:14 AEST ]]>
