Abstrakt: Objective: This study analyses the rate of post-operative complications after cardiac surgery, the incidence of the failure to rescue (FR), and the relationship between complications and survival.
Methods: The study included a total of 2,750 adult patients operated of cardiac surgery between January 2003 and December 2009. An analysis was made of 9 post-operative complications. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to find independent variables associated with any of the selected complications. Survival was analysed with Kaplan-Meyer survival estimates. A risk-adjusted Cox proportional regression model was used to find out which complications were associated with mid-term survival.
Results: Hospital mortality rate was 1.4% (95% CI: 1.0%-1.9%). Postoperative complications rate was 38.5% (36.7%-40.4%), and FR 3.6% (2.5%-4.9%). Urgent surgery (OR = 2.03; 1.52-2.72), chronic renal failure (OR = 1.50, 95%.CI: 1.25-1.80), and age ≥70 years (OR = 1.42; 1.20-1.68) were the variables that showed the highest strength of association with the selected complications. Survival at 5 years in the group of patients without complications was 93%, and in the group of patients with complications it was 83% (P<.0001). Postoperative complications associated with mid-term survival were pneumonia (HR = 2.6, 95% CI; 1.27-5.50), acute myocardial infarction (HR = 1.9; 1.10-2.30), and acute renal failure (HR = 1.7; 1.30-2.26).
Conclusions: The incidence of complications after cardiac surgery is around 40%, and was associated with an increase in hospital mortality, although FR was very low (3.6%; 95% CI: 2.5-4.9).
