Multivariable predictors of deep sternal wound infection in all cardiac surgical patients (top panel), in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients (middle panel), and in non-CABG patients (bottom panel). (BITA = bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts; C.I. = confidence interval; DM = diabetes mellitus.)

Risk of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients receiving bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts (BITA) with and without other risk factors. All patient subgroups exhibited a significantly increased risk of DSWI with BITA grafts.
