  1. Table information: Prev.cardiac surgery denotes whether the patient had had previous cardiac surgery through median sternotomy (i.e. redo surgery). Isolated surgery refers to whether the operation was isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) or single valve surgery. Complex cardiac surgery refers to combined valve, CABG and/or aortic surgery. Type of center denotes whether the operating hospital in which the operation was performed was a cardiopulmonary transplant center. Log. EuroSCORE refers to logistic EuroSCORE
