Predictors of Late Mortality

Parameter	Hazard ratio	95% CI	P Value
Atrial fibrillation	2.184	1.437–3.318	<0.001
Age >70 y	2.125	1.426–3.166	<0.001
Peripheral arterial disease	2.106	1.300–3.410	0.002
Reduced LV function ≤50%	1.983	1.385–2.837	<0.001
CC <50 mL/min/1.73 m²	1.955	1.265–3.023	0.003
Lactate >2 mmol/L	1.954	1.270–3.008	0.002
COPD	1.640	1.022–2.633	0.040

Included into model 1: age ≥70 y, preoperative lactate >2 mmol/L, CC <50 mL/min/1.73 m², COPD, peripheral arterial disease, prior stroke, continuous inotropic support, atrial fibrillation, non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction, left main stenosis, ejection fraction ≤50%, time from diagnosis to surgery <6 h. CC indicates creatinine clearance; CI, confidence interval; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
