National outcomes for dementia patients undergoing cardiac surgery in a pre-structural era
Despite an aging population with increasing prevalence of dementia, patients with dementia can undergo cardiovascular surgery with a lower in-hospital mortality and similar hospitalization costs compared to their non-dementia counterparts. Dementia patients are more likely to experience complications and require discharge to skilled nursing facility. Careful patient selection and targeted physical therapy may help mitigate some dementia associated complications.
