 Preoperative medical and cardiac surgical characteristics of CABG surgery cluster subtypes

VariableCluster subgroupCritical value*
Memory spared (n = 41)Retrieval deficit (n = 30)Encoding deficit (n = 14)
CCS score, Canadian Cardiovascular Society score (n = 73); CPB time, cardiopulmonary bypass time; diabetes, n = 79; hypertension, n = 79; Interventions, number of perfusionist interventions; LVF, left ventricular function (n = 75); MCPP, mean cerebral perfusion pressure; Mflow, mean blood flow rate; Rhythm, spontaneous return to sinus rhythm.
χ2 test (asymptotic two sided), df = 2 (except LVF df = 4). All other comparisons one way ANOVA F(2, 82), except MAP F(2, 73) and ICU stay F(2, 80).
