Cardiac and thoracic surgery is plagued by severe morbidity and mortality. Understanding and being able to predict postoperative outcomes may allow to better fit peri-operative care of cardio-thoracic patients. RIPOSTE database aims to prospectively collect baseline characteristics and per-operative information in order to test associations with the incidence of postoperative outcomes. Baseline characteristics include: age, EuroSCORE 2 and its components (age, gender, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, angina symptoms, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, extracardiac arteriopathy, chronic pulmonary dysfunction, neurological or musculoskeletal dysfunction severely affecting mobility, previous cardiac surgery, renal function with creatinin clearance, active endocarditis, critical preoperative state, left ventricle ejection fraction, recent myocardial infarction, pulmonary artery systolic pressure, procedure urgency and weight of the procedure (coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery and/or thoracic aorta)) weight, height, preoperative biology and preoperative echocardiography parameters when measured. Peroperative information include: cardiac bypass duration, type of procedure, implanted device, valve size. Postoperative outcomes include: death, postoperative shock, mediastinitis, length of stay in intensive care unit, overall length of stay, blood transfusion.
