Comorbidity Factors Correlated with Readmission After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) at the University of Tennessee Medical Center Knoxville, Tennessee

Résumé du livre

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death of both men and women in America. The aim of interventional treatment for Coronary Artery Disease is to increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart by bypassing the coronary arteries. The surgical procedure used to accomplish this is known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting or CABG. The purpose of this study was to define the risk factors (comorbidities) leading to readmission within 30 days in one Southeastern medical center by analysis of medical record data. - from the abstract.
