Predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged intensive care unit stay after complete pericardiectomy in tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The risk factors of postoperative outcomes after pericardiectomy in tuberculous constrictive pericarditis have still been unclear. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay in the patients with tuberculous constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy. METHODS:A total of 88 patients with tuberculous constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy were retrospectively enrolled. Logistic regression and Cox regression analysis were performed to identify the predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged ICU stay, respectively. RESULTS:All patients underwent complete pericardiectomy and 35 (39.8%) had postoperative complication with no mortality within 30?days after surgery and no in-hospital deaths. Postoperative complication prolonged postoperative ICU stay (P?
