Trends in Cardiovascular Surgery in South Korea: A Nationwide Cohort Study from 2010 to 2019
Authors' conclusion
Cardiovascular surgery-associated intensive care admissions gradually increased from 2010 to 2019 in South Korea. Among these patients, the highest 1-year mortality rate was observed in the aortic procedures group, followed by the CABG + valve, others, CABG-only, and valve-only groups.
