Prolonged length of stay in ICU, hospital and prolonged duration of MV is defined as a LOS or duration > 3rd quartile of the subgroup of the individual cases. Data are given as median [interquartile range]. Categorical variables are given as number (%). In-hospital mortality, 30-days mortality and one-year mortality is shown. ICU = intensive care unit; LOS = length of stay; MV = mechanical ventilation; STS-EACTS = Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery.
