Popis:	Introduction Cardiac surgery in octogenarians contains many age-specific perioperative risk factors and outcomes yet to be fully understood. Method All adults (N = 4957) undergoing cardiac surgery between 2011-2017 at our institution were retrospectively studied, encompassing 312 octogenarians. Data was evaluated with univariate and multivariate testing and mortality with Kaplan-Meier and cox-regression analyses. Results Compared to septuagenarians, octogenarians revealed more patients having previous surgery (p = 0.016), less diabetic patients (p = 0.034), lower BMI (0.002), and longer hospital stay (p Conclusions We report specific differences for octogenarians in perioperative characteristics along with promising short- and medium-term survival. Such outcomes must constantly be monitored so that cardiac surgery can be further tailored to this elderly cohort.
