[ XXXX increases morbidity and length of stay after vascular surgery operations. Results of a prospective study].

@entity1 @entity1212 @entity146 @entity260 @entity933
OBJECTIVE: We intended to analyze the influence of @entity260 on postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay. @entity1 AND METHOD: 153 @entity1 undergoing elective arterial surgery were studied prospectively. @entity1 were examined postoperatively by a psychiatrist daily from days 1 to 7. @entity933 was diagnosed according to standardised criteria (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of @entity146 ). The severity of @entity933 was quantified using the @entity933 Rating Scale. We compared @entity1 without @entity933 to those who developed @entity260 using univariate statistical analysis (t-test, chi (2) test, and Fisher's test). RESULTS: Sixty @entity1 (39.2%) developed @entity260 . They removed catheters significantly more frequently than @entity1 without @entity933 and had more @entity1212 . Their length of stay in intensive care units was higher, as was their total postoperative length of stay in hospital. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 who developed @entity260 have significantly more complications and increased postoperative length of stay in hospital and intensive care units.
