Development of an Instrument for Preoperative Prediction  of Adverse Discharge in Patients Scheduled for Cardiac Surgery

Inability of home discharge occurs in nearly a third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with increased mortality. The authors aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for adverse discharge disposition (ADD) after cardiac surgery and develop a prediction tool for preoperative risk assessment.
