An increase or decrease in body temperature (vs. 36.6℃) measured using digital axillary thermometers within 10 minutes of Postoperative ICU admission was associated with increased 1-year mortality. However, no significant association was observed after cardiovascular surgery. These results suggest that Postoperative temperature is associated with longterm mortality in patients admitted to the surgical ICU in the Postoperative period.
