Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease is currently one of the world's most common and serious life-threatening diseases. Although the death rate caused by heart surgery is decreasing worldwide, there are still avoidable deaths in low-risk patients. This study investigates factors affecting mortality in these patients after heart surgery.

Materials and methods: This study investigated all cases of open heart surgery between 2018 and 2021 in Heshmatieh Hospital of Sabzevar . The main variables of the research include the number of deaths and the cause of death in the patients up to 30 days after open heart surgery.

Results: Overall, 406 male and 204 female patients were studied in this research. The studied patients had an average age of 61.77 years with an average height of 166.32 ± 10.02 cm and an average weight of 78 ± 14.5 kg. In addition, 165 patients had high blood pressure, and 586 patients had coronary heart disease

Discussion and conclusion: Although underlying factors such as age and previous diseases affect mortality after surgery, preventing infection, fever, and discharge after surgery can reduce the mortality percentage.
