Popis: The aim of this study was to develop a multivariate risk prediction model for prolonged ventilation after adult cardiac surgery.This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on 12,662 consecutive patients undergoing adult cardiac surgery between April 1997 and March 2005. Data were randomly split into a development dataset (n = 6,000) and a validation dataset (n = 6,662). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was undertaken using a forward stepwise technique to identify independent risk factors for prolonged ventilation (defined as ventilation greater than 48 hours). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic were calculated to assess the performance and calibration of the model, respectively. Patients were split into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups based on their predicted probability of prolonged ventilation.Three hundred thirty-three patients had prolonged ventilation (5.5%). Independent variables, identified with prolonged ventilation, are shown with relevant coefficient values and p values as follows: (1) age 65 to 75 years, 0.7831, p0.001; (2) age 75 to 80 years, 1.5605, p0.001; (3) age greater than 80 years, 1.7115, p0.001; (4) forced expiratory volume less than 70% predicted, 0.3707, p = 0.013; (5) current smoker, 0.5315, p = 0.001; (6) serum creatinine 125 to 175 micromol/L, 0.6371, p0.001; (7) serum creatinine greater than 175 micromol/L, 1.3817, p0.001; (8) peripheral vascular disease, 0.6212, p0.001; (9) ejection fraction less than 0.30, 0.7839, p0.001; (10) myocardial infraction less than 90 days, 0.7415, p0.001; (11) preoperative ventilation, 1.3540, p = 0.004; (12) prior cardiac surgery, 0.8946, p0.001; (13) urgent surgery, 0.4414, p = 0.004; (14) emergency surgery, 0.7421, p = 0.005; (15) mitral valve surgery, 0.7715, p0.001; (16) aortic surgery, 1.7043, p0.001; and (17) use of cardiopulmonary bypass, 0.4052, p = 0.025; intercept, -4.7666. The ROC curve for the predicted probability of prolonged ventilation was 0.79, indicating a good discrimination power. The prediction equation was well-calibrated, predicting well at all levels of risk. A simplified additive scoring system was also developed. In the validation dataset, 5.1% of patients had prolonged ventilation compared with 5.4% expected. The ROC curve for the validation dataset was 0.75.We developed a contemporaneous multivariate prediction model for prolonged ventilation after cardiac surgery. This tool can be used in day-to-day practice to calculate patient-specific risk by the logistic equation or a simple scoring system with an equivalent predicted risk.
