Abstract
Influence of preoperative risk factors on hospital mortality in cardiac surgeries has been investigated, but no one has identified differences in risk factors on early (postop day ≤ 2) and late death (postop day ≤ 3). To explore proper preventive strategies for each death, data were reviewed in 4351 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 1/1/90 and 6/30/94. There were 93 (2.14%) early deaths and 171 (4.02%) late deaths in this series. Patients who died are older (early: 67.8 vs. 64.2, p = 0.002; late: 71.1 vs. 63.9, p < 0.001) Proportion of females is higher in late deaths (41.5% vs. 29.7%. p = 0.001). but not in early deaths (32.3% vs. 30.2%, p = 0.6). The early and late mortality are 1.65% and 2.78% for isolated CABGs (n = 3037). 1.82% and 4.0% for isolated valves (n = 713), 3.79% and 9.61% for CABG + valve (n = 422), 7.82% and 12.73% for others (n = 179). To adjust influence of preoperative risk factors on each type of death. stepwise logistic regression was applied.Early DeathLate DeathRisk FactorOdds RatiopRisk FactorOdds RatiopCardiac arrest5.98<0.001Cardiogenic shock6.93<0.001Refuse blood5.84<0.001Renal disease5.50<0.001Age≥ 85 years5.010.008CV disease4.08<0.001Emergency3.67<0.001MI <30 days3.360.004Re-operation2.85<0.001Cardiac arrest3.31<0.001Rheumatic dis.2.790.001Respiratory dis3.19<0.001Preop EF <35%2.71<0.001Liver disease3.040.051Hypotension2.260.009Age ≥ 75 years2.80<0.001MI < 10 days2.100.005Rheumatic dis2.190.002IABP support1.920.042Emergency1.560.035Age 65–64 years1.770.017Heart Failure1.480.050Diabetes1.470.055Chronic Isch.

(3) Risk adjusted mortality does not differ significantly in genders.
