abstract：:Acute risk change has been described as the difference in calculated mortality risk between the pre-operative and postoperative periods of cardiac surgery. We aimed to assess whether this was associated with long-term survival after cardiac surgery. We retrospectively analysed 22,570 cardiac surgical patients, with mi...
