Summary

This study looked at 400 Egyptian patients who had open-heart surgery to see if living in a hot climate affects bleeding afterward. Researchers compared patients from hot regions (Upper Egypt) with those from milder regions (Lower Egypt). The goal was to understand if climate plays a role in recovery, which could help doctors personalize care.
