Validation of Open-Heart Intraoperative Risk score to predict a prolonged intensive care unit stay for adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A prolonged stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increases the cost of care as well as morbidity and mortality. Several predictive models aim at identifying patients at risk of prolonged ICU stay after cardiac surgery with CPB, but almost all of them involve a preoperative assessment for proper resource management, while one - the Open-Heart Intraoperative Risk (OHIR) score - focuses on intra-operative manipulatable risk factors for improving anesthetic care and patient outcome.

Objective

We aimed to revalidate the OHIR score in a different context.

Materials and methods

The ability of the OHIR score to predict a prolonged ICU stay was assessed in 123 adults undergoing cardiac surgery (both coronary by
