Perioperative urinary thromboxane metabolites and outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting: a nested case-control study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:As a marker of in vivo thromboxane generation, high-level urinary thromboxane metabolites (TXA-M) increase the occurrence of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. To investigate whether perioperative urinary TXA-M level is associated with major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, we designed a nested case-control study. DESIGN:Observational, nested case-control study. SETTING:Single-centre outcomes research in Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China. PARTICIPANTS:One thousand six hundred and seventy Chinese patients undergoing CABG surgery from September 2011 to October 2013. METHODS:We obtained urinary samples from 1670 Chinese patients undergoing CABG 1?hour before surgery (pre-CABG), and 6?hours (post-CABG 6?hours) and 24?hours after surgery (post-CABG 24?hours). Patients were followed up for 1?year, and we observed 56 patients had MACCE. For each patient with MACCE, we matched three control subjects. Perioperative urinary TXA-M of the three time spots was detected in these 224 patients. RESULTS:Post-CABG 24?hours TXA-M is significantly higher than that of patients without MACCE (11?101vs8849 pg/mg creatine, P=0.007). In addition, patients in the intermediate tertile and upper tertile of post-CABG 24?hours urinary TXA-M have a 2.2 times higher (HR 2.22, 95%?CI 1.04 to 4.71, P=0.038) and a 2.8 times higher (HR 2.81, 95%?CI 1.35 to 5.85, P=0.006) risk of 1?year MACCE than those in the lower tertile, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion, post-CABG 24?hours urinary TXA-M elevation is associated with an increase of 1?year adverse events after CABG, indicating that the induction of cyclo-oxygenase-2 by surgery-related inflammatory stimuli or platelet turnover may be responsible for the high levels of post-CABG urinary TXA-M.
