Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in developed countries, and there is an increasing number of both young and elderly patients requiring surgical treatment. Despite improvement of conventional risk stratification scores (EuroSCORE II, STS risk score), all of the calculations are estimated based on the typical population and the studies emphasise that the scales may need further investigation and modernisation because demographic changes of the population suffering from CAD are unavoidable. Aim: To characterise two increasing and challenging cohorts of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to identify preoperative risk factors for postoperative complications. Methods: In the...
