  ABSTRACT: Background: To establish which variables between cardiac surgery pts aged 70 - 79 years and 80 years or over are individually different for age group status. Methods: Group 1, 70 - 79 years, n = 351 and Group 2, age 80 or over n = 94. Demographics, operative and hospital outcomes were identified and EuroSCORE (ES) scores applied. Logistic regression uni- and mul-tivariate analysis was used to detect pre- and postop-erative variables which might be independently different between the Groups. Results: Difference (p
