This is a retrospective study based on analysis real world data obtained from hospitals that have adopted use of Montage or Montage-CT for use following sternotomy. The analysis will report the post-operative use of analgesic medication (including opioids) and compare the use against a control group consisting of patients operated by the same surgeon concurrently or prior to adoption of Montage or Montage-CT for use in sternotomy closure.

Cumulative Opiod Dose
1\. Cumulative opioid dose (COD) is measured from entry into the postoperative ICU through the time of achieving hospital discharge criteria. Opioid use will be quantified in morphine equivalents, using conversion factors based on Von Korff, et al.
Time frame: From admission until end of treatment/discharge, up to 8 weeks
Time to Discharge
Postoperative time to achieving hospital discharge criteria (TTHDC) measured in hours from entry into the postoperative ICU to the time a patient meets hospital discharge criteria.
Time frame: From admission until end of treatment/discharge, up to 8 weeks
Time to Opioid Cessation
Time to opioid cessation (TTOC) measured in hours from entry into the postoperative ICU to the first time point at which a patient achieved a sustained period of at least 24 consecutive hours.
Time frame: From admission until end of treatment/discharge, up to 8 weeks
Percent Discharged with Opioid Prescription
Percentage of patients discharged with an opioid prescription (DWOP) based on the number of patients who received a prescription for an opioid medication at hospital discharge.
Time frame: From admission until end of treatment/discharge, up to 8 weeks
Percent without Opioid Use
Percentage of patients with no opioid analgesic use (NOU) based on the number of patients who did not receive any opioid medication from entry into the postoperative ICU through the time of achieving hospital discharge criteria.
Time frame: From admission until end of treatment/discharge, up to 8 weeks
