Popis: During the last several years many authors have found that the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation is useful in the prediction of not only postoperative mortality but also of the length of stay in the intensive care unit, complication rate and overall treatment expenses. This study included 329 patients who had undergone isolated surgical myocardial revascularization at our Department during the period from January 1st to June 6th, 2008. For the operative risk evaluation, the additive European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluaion was used. In group I (low risk 0-2%) there were 144 patients (43.7%), whereas group II (medium risk 3-5%) and group III (high risk ? 6%) included 141 (42.8%) and 44 (13.4%) patients, respectively. The length of stay in the intensive care unit was 25.56, 32.43 and 49.59 hours for groups I, II and III, respectively. The difference in the mean length of stay in the intensive care unit between the groups was highly statistically significant (p
