Biological-age estimation from routine EHR labs — a research article examining whether such measures predict postoperative recovery and complications after heart-related surgery.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers calculated biological age from standard EHR laboratory panels in 4,313 cardiothoracic surgery patients.
- Higher preoperative biological age was associated with increased likelihood of death or adverse postoperative outcomes.
- Postoperative biological-age trajectories correlated with ICU length of stay and in-hospital mortality.
