The study cohort included 346 patients who underwent different types of valve surgery, excluding redo and Bentall operations. All operations were performed through a median sternotomy using cardiopulmonary bypass. Mean patient age was 51.6±16.1 years, and 51% were male. Approximately 21% had diabetes, and 44.6% were hypertensive. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) was performed in 125 patients (37%), mitral valve replacement (MVR) in 95 (28%), combined AVR and MVR in 42 (13%), AVR plus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 19 (6%), and MVR plus CABG in 32 (10%). Operative mortality was 5.8% (n=20). In the bivariate-level analysis, older age, operation type, hypertension, emergency surgery, use of a biological valve in the aortic or mitral position, pump time greater than 120min, and aortic clamp time greater than 60min were significant predictors of 30-day mortality. Use of medications stratified by duration (less than or more than a moo be independent predictors of mortality in patients undergoing valve surgery. Further prospective multicenter studies may be needed to provide a comprehensive assessment of mortality in patients undergoing valve surgery in Jordan. and importance Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a rare and potentially lethal ocular tumor. As with any oncologic disease, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of CM is paramount to limit morbidity and increase life expectancy. However, patients with severe mental disability with social isolation are usually presented in late-stage disease. This report presents a case of a 55-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenic man with an extraordinarily large CM due to neglect. The patient suffered from complete left eye blindness with no clinical and radiological evidence of metastasis. Clinicians must bear in mind the limited patient compliance and family support of mentally-ill patients
