Weekday and Survival After Cardiac Surgery—A Swedish Nationwide Cohort Study in 106 473 Patients

چکیده
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between weekday of surgery and survival following cardiac surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS In a nationwide cohort study, we included all patients who underwent cardiac surgery in 1999-2013 from the SWEDEHEART (Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies) register. All-cause mortality until March 2014 was obtained from national registers. The association between weekday of surgery and mortality was estimated using Cox regression, and reported as hazard ratios with 95% CI. We used the restricted mean survival time difference to estimate loss of life related to weekday of surgery. Among 106 473 patients, 25 221 (24%), 24 471 (23%), 22 977 (22%), 20 189 (19%), 9251 (8.7%), and 4364 (4.1%) underwent surgery during a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and a Saturday/Sunday, respectively. More patients were operated on urgently during Friday to Sunday, and unadjusted analyses showed higher early and late mortality in those patients. The adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) were 1.00 (0.89-1.13), 1.00 (0.88-1.12), 1.02 (0.90-1.16), 1.17 (1.01-1.37), and 1.05 (0.86-1.29) in patients who underwent surgery during a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday/Sunday compared to a Monday, after 1 year of follow-up conditional on 30-day survival. In elective surgery (n=46 146), the 1-year restricted mean survival time difference (95% CI) was -0.5 (-1.8-0.8), -0.5 (-1.9-0.8), -1.0 (-2.6-0.5), 0.02 (-2.2-2.3), and -1.2 (-6.3-3.9) days in patients who underwent surgery during a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and a Saturday/Sunday, respectively, compared to a Monday. CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of a clinically relevant weekday effect in patents who underwent cardiac surgery in Sweden during a 15-year period. These data suggest that the early risk and long-term prognosis following cardiac surgery was not affected by the weekday of surgery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

The Evaluation of Survival in Patients Who Need Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) after Cardiac Surgery
Introduction: Insome cases, assist devices are required to ensure an adequate cardiac output after cardiac surgery. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used cardiac assist device, which provides first-line support for patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine factors affecting the mortality rate of patients receiving IABP. Materials & Methods: In thi...
متن کاملWeekday of oesophageal cancer surgery in relation to early postoperative outcomes in a nationwide Swedish cohort study
OBJECTIVES Later weekday of surgery for oesophageal cancer seems to increase 5-year mortality, but the mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesised that early postoperative reoperations and mortality might explain this association, since reoperation after oesophagectomy decreases long-term prognosis, and later weekday of elective surgery increases 30-day mortality. DESIGN This was a population-bas...

Objective: Survival-to-discharge rates following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients remain significantly low. The use of initial documented cardiac rhythm as predictor of Survival-to-discharge is still unclear. This study aimed to assess whether the initial documented rhythm can be used as a predictor of survival-to-discharge following IHCA in an emergency department of the tertiary car...
