Surgical re-exploration for bleeding | 0 (0) (n = 64) | 1 (1.6) (n = 62) | 0 (0) (n = 51) | 0 (0) (n = 56) | 11 (21.2) (n = 52) | 3 (6.7) (n = 45) |
Bleeding source identified by surgical re-exploration* | NA (n = 0) | 1 (100) (n = 1) | NA (n = 0) | NA (n = 0) | 8 (72.7%) (n = 11) | 2 (66.7) (n = 3) |
Hospital stay (d) | 12 ± 9 (n = 63) | 13 ± 15 (n = 62) | 11 ± 5 (n = 51) | 10 ± 4 (n = 56) | 13 ± 11 (n = 52) | 14 ± 9 (n = 45) |
Postoperative ICU stay (h) | 64 ± 109 (n = 59) | 60 ± 102 (n = 59) | 51 ± 42 (n = 49) | 48 ± 34 (n = 54) | 101 ± 192 (n = 52) | 98 ± 113 (n = 44) |
Data presented as n (%), with n in parentheses, number of subjects with nonmissing values for each category, or mean ± standard deviation. CABG, Coronary artery bypass grafting; ICU, intensive care unit; NA, not allowed because denominator was 0 (ie, no patients in category underwent surgical re-exploration); RBC, red blood cell.
Denominator consisted of patients who underwent surgical re-exploration.
