  1. PERSEVERE-CPB risk category is based on terminal risk nodes from PERSEVERE-CPB model: Terminal node 4: high-risk; Terminal node 2: intermediate-risk; Terminal node 1 and 3: low-risk. All data is presented as median (interquartile range) unless specified; ventilator-free days: total days not receiving positive pressure ventilation out of 28 days; vasoactive-free days: total days not requiring vasoactive or inotropic medications out of 28 days
  2. POD Postoperative day, CICU Cardiac intensive care unit, LOS Length of stay
