Prediction of risk factors related to the development of hepatic dysfunction following open heart surgery

Abstract

The risk factors including age, cardiopulmonary bypass time, number of blood transfusions, inotropic support, use of intra-aortic balloon pump and ICU stay were evaluated with logistic regression. Independent risk factors of early postoperative jaundice are; multiple valve replacement surgery, ejection fraction and use of intraaortic balloon pump (R = 0.58, R2 = 0.33, F = 26.44, P < 0.001).
