Abstract

Objectives: Several scoring systems and laboratory values are used to predict outcomes in coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The present study investigates the relationship of albumin, creatinine, sodium, and potassium levels with the outcomes of coronary surgery, to determine whether these values together may comprise an easy-to-interpret, high-quality, low-cost indicator.
