Vitamin C impacts clinically and economically important outcomes, such as ICU and hospital length-of-stay, duration of mechanical ventilation and lowers the incidence of atrial fibrillation. Due to missing reports on organ dysfunction, this meta-analysis cannot answer the question, if vitamin C can improve single- or multiorgan function after cardiac surgery.
