Risk factors for acute kidney injury following coronary artery bypass graft surgery in a Chinese population and development of a prediction model

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury(AKI)after coronary artery bypass graft(CABG)surgery is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.This retrospective study aimed to establish a risk score for postoperative AKI in a Chinese population.METHODS A total of 1138 patients undergoing CABG were collected from September 2018 to May 2020 and divided into a derivation and validation cohort.AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)criteria.Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors of AKI,and the predictive ability of the model was determined using a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.RESULTS The incidence of cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury(CSA-AKI)was 24.17%,and 0.53%of AKI patients required dialysis(AKI-D).Among the derivation cohort,multivariable logistic regression showed that age≥70 years,body mass index(BMI)≥25 kg/m2,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)≤60 mL/min per 1.73 m2,ejection fraction(EF)≤45%,use of statins,red blood cell transfusion,use of adrenaline,intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)implantation,postoperative low cardiac output syndrome(LCOS)and reoperation for bleeding were independent predictors.The predictive model was scored from 0 to32 points with three risk categories.The AKI frequencies were as follows:0-8 points(15.9%),9-17 points(36.5%)and≥18 points(90.4%).The area under of the ROC curve was 0.730(95%CI:0.691-0.768)in the derivation cohort.The predictive index had good discrimination in the validation cohort,with an area under the curve of 0.735(95%CI:0.655-0.815).The model was well calibrated according to the Hosmer-Lemeshow test(P=0.372).CONCLUSION The performance of the prediction model was valid and accurate in predicting KDIGO-AKI after CABG surgery in Chinese patients,and could improve the early prognosis and clinical interventions.

Risk Factors for Mortality of Patients Waiting for Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Background: Insufficient capacity for cardiac surgery results in extensive waiting time for patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Previous studies have reported a consequence of an increased risk of mortality while waiting for CABG. Identification of risk factors for mortality is important in patients waiting for CABG. Objectives: To assess mortality rates and identify risk factors for mortality of patients waiting for CABG. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was done on patients waiting for elective CABG in dr. Kariadi General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020. Identification of risk factors associated with mortality was done on patients who were waiting for CABG using logistic regression methods. Results: There were 162 patients fulfilling the criteria, with a mean waiting time for surgery of 9.8 months. While waiting for CABG surgery, 32 (19.7%) patients died of any cause. Independent risk factors for death while waiting for CABG included left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45% (OR 4.75;95% CI 1.76 - 12.78;p = 0.002), left main disease (OR 4.12;95% CI 1.50 - 11.27;p = 0.006), serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dl (OR 3.71;95% CI 1.41 - 9.74;p = 0.008), and a number of coronary artery disease risk factors ≥ 3 (OR 3.34;95% CI 1.24 - 8.99;p = 0.017). Conclusions: Long waiting time for CABG is associated with a high mortality rate which is influenced by left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%, left main disease, serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dl, and a number of coronary arteries disease risk factors ≥ 3.

Influence of preoperative coronary collateral circulation on in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with intra-aortic balloon pump support

Background Outcomes in patients requiring coronary artery bypass graft （CABG） surgery have been improved with devices such as the intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP）.Good coronary collateral circulation （CCC） has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with coronary artery disease （CAD）.We aimed to investigate whether poor preoperative CCC grade is a predictor of in-hospital mortality in CABG surgery requiring IABP support.Methods Fifty-five consecutive patients who were undergoing isolated first time on-pump CABG surgery with IABP support were enrolled into this study and CCC of those patients was evaluated.Results Twenty-seven patients had poor CCC and 28 patients had good CCC.In-hospital mortality rate in poor CCC group was significantly higher than good CCC group （14 （50％） vs.4 （13％）,P=0.013）.Preoperative hemoglobin level （OR：0.752; 95％ CI,0.571-0.991,P=0.043）,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （OR：6.731; 95％ CI,1.159-39.085,P=0.034） and poor CCC grade （OR：5.750; 95％ CI,1.575-20.986,P=0.008） were associated with post-CABG in-hospital mortality.Poor CCC grade （OR：4.853; 95％ CI,1.124-20.952,P=0.034） and preoperative hemoglobin level （OR：0.624; 95％ CI,0.476-0.954,P=0.026） were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality after CABG.Conclusion Preoperative poor CCC and hemoglobin are predictors of in-hospital mortality after CABG with IABP support.

Predictive risk factors for prolonged stay in intensive care unit in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

Objective To describe the preoperative factors of prolonged intensive care unit length of stay after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Predictive risk factors associated with prolonged stay in the intensive care unit for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

Objective The rate of post-operative complications has been increased with the changes in patients’age,prolonged duration,more severe and diffused lesions,and more patients with complications in recent years. We try to identify the risk factors associated with prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) . Methods 1623 patients who received CABG surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital

Is coronary artery bypass surgery riskier in female?

Introduction: In this study we examined the early results of coronary artery bypass surgery in our female patients and compared them with those of our male patients. Material and Methods: One thousand and ninety four patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery between January 2009 and December 2011 inour clinic were included into this study. Three hundred and thirteen female patients (group 1) were compared to 781 male patients (group 2). Results: The mean age of group 1 was 61.4 ± 9.6, and the mean age of group 2 was 58.1 ± 9.6 (p < 0.001). The ratio of diabetes mellitus and hypertension in group 1 was higher than that of group 2 (p < 0.001). There were no significant difference between two groups when compared regarding the need for inotropics after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, cross clamp and total cardiopulmonary bypass periods (p > 0.05). It was found that the amount of drainage was higher in group 1 than group 2 (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between two groups when compared in terms of mortality, re-operation (because of bleeding), postoperative atrial fibrillation, need for intraaortic balloon pump, usage of levosimendan, cerebrovascular accident, chronic renal failure, discharging intervals and period in intensive care unit. It was found that sternal wound infection was higher in group 1 than group 2 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We consider that female gender does not put an additional risk to increase mortality and morbidity in coronary artery bypass surgery.

Combined Surgical Treatment of Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease and Moderate Aortic Valve Stenosis in Patient with Concomitant Lipton’s R-III Type of Single Coronary Artery Anomaly

A single coronary artery is a very rare condition,commonly associated with other congenital anomalies.It could be generally considered as neither benign nor malignant form of congenital coronary artery anomalies since its pathophysiological and clinical implications grossly depend on different anatomical patterns defined by the site of origin and distribution of the branches.By presenting the patient who underwent successful coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement surgery in a presence of isolated single coronary artery,we intend to emphasize natural and procedural risks and distinguish casual from causal in this extremely rare clinical and surgical scenario.

Does Creatine Phosphokinase MB Predict Long-Term Cardiac Death or Atrial Fibrillation?

Objectives: Exploring the long-term consequences of elevated postoperative creatine phosphokinase MB as a surrogate measure of cardiac tissue damage subsequent to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods: Prospective cohort study including 414 patients subjected to solitary CABG at Odense University Hospital from September 30, 2007, and backwards in time. According to individual postoperative peak creatine phosphokinase MB, patients were assigned to five subgroups. Kaplan Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional-hazard regression evaluated the predictive value of creatine phosphokinase MB on late death from cardiac cause and diagnosis of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation within 10-years after CABG. Results: There was a general numeric decrease in time to cardiac death with increasing postoperative creatine phosphokinase MB (Log-Rank 0.285). Creatine phosphokinase MB p p p = 0.002) increase in paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to patients in postoperative sinus rhythm. Conclusions: Postoperative creatine phosphokinase MB was not found predictive of late cardiac death or diagnosis of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation within 10 years after CABG. However, patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation had increased risk of later developing paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation compared to patients in postoperative sinus rhythm.
