Assessment of the Quality of Life in Patients before and after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): A Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to examine the quality of life and to report on the utility and QALY measures in patients before and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); to investigate whether the SF-12 is comparable with the SF-36 for measuring health-related quality of life of patients with CABG; and to determine the impact of individual predictors on poor quality of life assessment after rehabilitation. This prospective study was conducted between January 2017 and December 2018 at the University Hospital Center Osijek, at three time points: pre-operation, 1 month after surgery, and after rehabilitation. The study was conducted with the SF-36 and SF-12 health questionnaires on 47 participants. After rehabilitation, there was a significant improvement in all domains of quality of life. The highest score was given to the change in pain (BP); mean scores were 63.8 (95% CI 56.9 to 70.6) (p = 0.001). The lowest grade (the lowest quality) after rehabilitation was in the domain of limitations due to physical difficulties (RP); arithmetic mean was 48.5 (95% CI 41 to 55.9) (p < 0.001). Quality-adjusted life-year was 0.41 (95% CI 0.38-0.44) after the CABG. The results of this study show that patients with coronary heart disease have poor quality of life before surgery. One month after the surgery, the quality of life improved, but was still inadequate. One year after surgery, satisfactory results were obtained in almost all subscales. The SF-36, SF-12, and its components, can be used effectively in patients with CABG. Age, gender, lifestyle, and risk factors in our sample of participants are not predictors of poor quality of life assessment after rehabilitation.

Project description:BackgroundCell salvage reduces allogenic blood transfusion requirements in surgery. We present a pilot study exploring the impact of anticoagulant choice, citrate or heparin, on the quality of cell salvaged blood in adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Materials and methodsElective on pump CABG patients were randomly allocated to citrate or heparin anticoagulation. We measured red blood cell characteristics and inflammation in both the blood collection reservoir and the washed red blood cell concentrate. Postoperatively, the level of biomarkers and the coagulation profile in the peripheral blood as well as the transfusion requirements of allogenic blood products were studied.ResultsThirty eight patients were included, 19 in the citrate group and 19 in the heparin group. Baseline characteristics were similar. In the washed red blood cell concentrate, Mean Hb (g/dl) and Ht (%) were lower in the citrate group [Hb: 18.1 g/dL (SD 1.3) vs. 21.1 (1.6), p < 0.001; Ht: 59.9% (54.7-60.9) vs. 63.7% (62.3-64.8); p < 0.001]; Mean corpuscular volume (MCV, μm 3) was higher [99.1fL (9.4) vs. 88 (4.2), p < 0.001] and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC, g/dl) lower in the citrate group [31.9 g/dl (29.6-32.4) vs. 33.6 (33.1-34.0) p < 0.001]. Thrombocyte count (1000/μl) was higher in the citrate group [31.0 (26.0-77.0) vs. 13.0 (10.0-39.0); p = 0.006]. There were no differences in the requirement for allogenic blood products' transfusion (intraoperatively and postoperatively) or in the coagulation parameters after washed red blood cell concentrate infusion. Higher IL-10 was found in the citrate group in the blood collection reservoir, higher neutrophil-derived myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the heparin group after washed red blood cell concentrate infusion.ConclusionThough red blood cells in washed red blood cell concentrate were more swollen and diluted in the citrate group with more residual thrombocytes, published quality guidelines were met in both groups. Our pilot study suggests that differences in inflammatory markers in the blood collection reservoir and after infusion of washed red blood cell concentrate indicate a possible pro-inflammatory effect of heparin compared to citrate. A larger study is warranted to confirm these results and their possible clinical consequences. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT02674906. Registered 5 February 2016.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Several risk scores have been created to predict long term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Several studies demonstrated a reduction in long-term mortality following bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) compared to single internal thoracic artery. However, these prediction models usually referred to long term survival as survival of up to 5 years. Moreover, none of these models were built specifically for operation incorporating BITA grafting. METHODS:A historical cohort study of all patients who underwent isolated BITA grafting between 1996 and 2011 at Tel-Aviv Sourasky medical center, a tertiary referral university affiliated medical center with a 24-bed cardio-thoracic surgery department. Study population (N = 2,935) was randomly divided into 2 groups: learning group which was used to build the prediction model and validation group. Cox regression was used to predict death using pre-procedural risk factors (demographic data, patient comorbidities, cardiac characteristics and patient's status). The accuracy (discrimination and calibration) of the prediction model was evaluated. METHODS AND FINDINGS:The learning (1,468 patients) and validation (1,467 patients) groups had similar preoperative characteristics and similar survival. Older age, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive lung disease, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure, old MI, ejection fraction ?30%, pre-operative use of intra-aortic balloon, and peripheral vascular disease, were significant predictors of mortality and were used to build the prediction model. The area under the ROC curves for 5, 10, and 15-year survival ranged between 0.742 and 0.762 for the learning group and between 0.766 and 0.770 for the validation group. The prediction model showed good calibration performance in both groups. A nomogram was built in order to introduce a simple-to-use tool for prediction of 5, 10, and 15-year survival. CONCLUSIONS:A simple-to-use validated model can be used for a prediction of 5, 10, and 15-year mortality after CABG using the BITA grafting technique.
