Risk Factors of Kraev et al for Poor Long Term Survival Following Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Purpose: To identify a patient undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary (CP) bypass who may have poor 2 year survival as reported by Kraev et al.
Kraev et al identified risk factors associated with poor long-term survival following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The authors are from Albany Medical College, Oregon Health & Science University, and Oregon State University.
Survival period: 2 years after surgery
Risk factors associated with poor survival:
(1) older age (> 65 years will be used in the implementation)
(2) history of stroke
(3) emergency surgery
(4) prolonged time on bypass
(5) respiratory failure in postoperative period
(6) hyperbilirubinemia (especially when > 2.8 mg/dL)
(7) history of treated diabetes mellitus
Risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia:
(1) decreased body mass index
(2) history of congestive heart failure
(3) heparin therapy before the operation
(4) amount of blood transfused
(5) bleeding
(6) postoperative renal failure
