Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of high-risk cases on hospitals' risk-adjusted coronary artery bypass grafting mortality rankings.
Brian R. Englum,Brian R. Englum,Paramita Saha-Chaudhuri,David M. Shahian,Sean M. O'Brien,J. Matthew Brennan,J. Matthew Brennan,Fred H. Edwards,Eric D. Peterson,Eric D. Peterson +9 more
TL;DR: The results show that the current risk-adjusted models accurately estimate CABG mortality and that hospitals accepting more high-risk C ABG patients have equal or better outcomes than do those with predominately lower-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Unstable Angina on Outcomes of Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization Combined With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
TL;DR: It is likely that patients who undergo TMR plus CABG have a higher prevalence of diffuse coronary disease based on their preoperative demographics, and the mortality rate was not significantly increased when TMR was added to C ABG in an effort to provide a more complete revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between Endoscopic vs Open Vein-Graft Harvesting and Mortality, Wound Complications, and Cardiovascular Events in Patients Undergoing CABG Surgery

TL;DR: In this paper, an observational study of 235,394 Medicare patients undergoing isolated CABG surgery between 2003 and 2008 at 934 surgical centers participating in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) national database was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composite Outcomes in Coronary Bypass Surgery Versus Percutaneous Intervention
Fred H. Edwards,David M. Shahian,Maria V. Grau-Sepulveda,Frederick L. Grover,John E. Mayer,Sean M. O'Brien,Elizabeth R. DeLong,Eric D. Peterson,Charles R. McKay,Richard E. Shaw,Kirk N. Garratt,George Dangas,John C. Messenger,Lloyd W. Klein,Jeffrey J. Popma,William S. Weintraub +15 more
TL;DR: The 4-year composite event rate of death, MI, and stroke favored CABG, whereas the risk of stroke alone favored PCI, according to a comparison of patients undergoing revascularization for stable multivessel coronary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical risk modeling and outcomes analysis.
David M. Shahian,Fred H. Edwards +1 more
TL;DR: Shahian et al. as discussed by the authors proposed statistical and clinical aspects of hospital outcomes profiling, including risk adjustment for measuring health care outcomes, 3rd ed., Chicago: Health Administration Press, 2003.
