[i] Isolated AVR and MVR cases pooled due to sample size constraints; ‘Combined’ represents CABG + valve procedures. Subgroups: CABG (isolated), AVR (isolated aortic valve), MVR (isolated mitral valve). Multivariable logistic regression (adjusted for age, diabetes status, ejection fraction, and surgery type)
