Table 3 Long-term mortality based on subgroups of patients with different albumin levels 24 h after cardiac surgery including all patients (A) and only with hospital survivors (B)
From: The influence of postoperative albumin levels on the outcome of cardiac surgery
A | In-hospital survival | 1-year survival | 3-year survival | 5-year survival |
Normal Levels (≥35 g·L−1) | 98.1% | 98.1% | 96.5% | 94.3% |
Low deficit (30–34.9 g·L−1) | 97.3% | 94.2% | 89.2% | 87.4% |
Mild deficit (25–29.9 g·L−1) | 95% | 91.5% | 86.1% | 83.1% |
Severe deficit (< 25 g·L−1) | 85.9% | 78.3% | 74.5% | 72.4% |
