Description
Grace M Soltesz and co-authors study in 2026 how pre-existing mental health disorders affect outcomes after cardiovascular surgery in the United States. They drew on a national readmissions database from 2016 to 2018, covering more than eight hundred thousand surgical discharges. About one fifth of patients carried diagnoses such as mood, anxiety, psychotic, or personality disorders.
After matching similar patients, those with mental health disorders had lower death rates in hospital, a finding the authors link to careful selection for surgery. They stayed about a day longer, faced more complications, and returned to hospital more often within 30 and 90 days. The team suggests involving mental health professionals before and after surgery.
