Risk assessment of hyperbilirubinemia using a three-factor model after cardiac surgery

In this study, the aortic clamp time was identified as a crucial factor for postoperative HB during cardiac surgery. A three-factor prediction model that includes the aortic clamp time for the prediction of HB after cardiac surgery was successfully established. Furthermore, patients with hyperbilirubinemia post-surgery had a worse short-term prognosis.
