Predictors of Postoperative Hospital-Acquired Infection and Mortality Following Cardiac Surgery in a Low-Income Country: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Extended preoperative hospitalization, body mass index, and extracorporeal circulation time are correlated with heightened postoperative hospital-acquired infection rates. Moreover, longer extracorporeal circulation time and postoperative hospital-acquired infection incidence emerged as significant predictors of mortality following cardiac surgery.
