Preoperative physical performance predicts pulmonary complications after coronary artery bypass grafting: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between preoperative physical performance (grip strength, gait speed, timed up and go) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). From September 2019 to August 2021, a total of 497 CABG patients who met the inclusion criteria of this study were examined for grip strength, 4-m gait speed, and timed up and go (TUG) before CABG surgery. Among them, 438 were included in the final analysis. PPCs were classified according to the operational definition of Kroenke et al. and patients with clinically significant PPCs were included in the data analysis. Logistic regression was utilised to analyse the relationship between physical performance and clinically significant PPCs. Besides, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyse the predictive effect of grip strength, gait speed, and TUG on clinically significant PPCs after the CABG procedure. In total, 103 (23.5%) patients developed clinically significant PPCs after CABG. After making adjustments for the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) and confounding factors, we established that low grip/weight (OR 0.510; 95% CI 0.363-0.715), slow gait speed (OR 0.619; 95% CI 0.517-0.741), and prolonged TUG (OR 1.617; 95% CI 1.379-1.895) were all independently correlated with clinically significant PPCs after CABG. The ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the ROC curve of the integrated model of the three indicators (AUC 0.792 vs. 0.682, 0.754, 0.765) was larger than that of the model with a single indicator. Besides the predictive effect of the integrated model was superior to the models using grip/weight, gait speed, or TUG alone. Physical performance, including grip/weight, gait speed, and TUG, is a predictive factor for PPCs in CABG patients, and can be used in preoperative evaluations to and help improve the management of high-risk patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical assist device which improves cardiac function. The device has a well-established place in algorithms for managing low cardiac output following cardiac surgery. There is increasing evidence that certain cardiac surgery patients benefit from a period of preoperative augmentation with the intra aortic balloon pump.ObjectivesTo determine the effect of the preoperative intra aortic balloon pump on mortality and morbidity in a number of different patients groups undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.Search strategyThe Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) on The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2009), MEDLINE (2000 to August 2009), EMBASE (1998 to August 2009), BIOSIS previews (1969 to August 2009) and ISI Proceedings (1990 to August 2009) were searched. References and ongoing registers of studies were checked. No language restrictions were applied.Selection criteriaRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) of any size or length were included.Data collection and analysisPapers were assessed for inclusion by two authors independently and differences were settled by consensus with a third author. Date are presented in the form of odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).Main resultsSix trials were included (five on-pump and one off-pump). This update adds the results of one further trial. Data from a total of 255 patients were included in the meta-analysis of mortality outcomes; all on-pump. Generally, the patients were considered as "high risk" and 132 were treated preoperatively with IABP and 123 served as controls. There were four hospital deaths in the intervention arm and 23 in the non-intervention arm (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.41; P<0.0001). In a subgroup analysis, low cardiac index (<2.0 L/min/m(2)) was noted in 21 out of 105 patients in the treatment arm and 59 patients out of 88 in the non-treatment arm (OR 0.14, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.25; P<0.00001). An off-pump versus on-pump analysis was not possible due to the limited number of off-pump studies. However a single well-conducted RCT suggested favourable effect of the preoperative IABP in off-pump patients.Authors' conclusionsEvidence suggests that preoperative IABP may have a beneficial effect on mortality and morbidity in specific high risk patient groups undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, however there are many problems with the quality, validity and generalisability of the trials. However, the available evidence is not robust enough to extend the use of IABP to truly elective, high risk patients. Defining more precisely which patient groups may benefit would be the challenge for the future.
