Trends in the Utilization of Multiorgan Support Among Adults Undergoing High-risk Cardiac Surgery in the United States

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Among patients undergoing high-risk cardiac surgery in the United States, MODS prevalence and MOS utilization (including MCS) increased over time. Risk-adjusted mortality trends differed in elective and non-elective cardiac surgery.
