Complication-specific incidence and Failure to Rescue Rates
| Complication | Complication-Specific Incidence; Overall: 33.9% (n = 14,773 / 43,641) | Complication-specific Failure to Rescue Rate; Overall: 6.02% (n = 884 / 14,773 |
|---|---|---|
| Post-operative Renal Failure | 2.67% (1165) | 30.6% (356) |
| Reoperation | 2.69% (1175) | 17.6% (207) |
| Permanent Stroke | 1.31% (570) | 16.8% (96) |
| Prolonged Ventilation | 9.16% (3998) | 16.7% (667) |
| STS-Defined FTR Composite (i.e., the above 4 complications) | 12.2% (5315) | 13.8% (735) |
| Cardiac Arrest | 1.85% (807) | 55.0% (444) |
| STS Complications + Cardiac Arrest | 12.5% (5475) | 14.9% (815) |
| Sepsis | 0.96% (420) | 35.9% (151) |
| Anticoagulation event | 0.60% (263) | 25.9% (68) |
| GI Event | 2.53% (1105) | 17.6% (194) |
| Pneumonia | 2.31% (1009) | 17.1% (173) |
| Venothromboembolism | 1.23% (538) | 8.36% (45) |
| Atrial Fibrillation | 23.7% (10360) | 3.41% (353) |
| Surgical Site Infection | 1.3% (586) | 3.92% (23) |
| Deep Sternal Wound Infection | 0.29% (126) | 4.76% (6) |
Complication-specific incidence and FTR rates are not exclusive (i.e., a patient with post-operative renal failure and cardiac arrest will be counted in both rows). Anticoagulation Event and GI Event are defined as per the STS ACSD (Supplemental Table 3).10
