Impact of delirium on postoperative frailty and long term cardiovascular events after cardiac surgery

چکیده
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common and critical complication after cardiac surgery. However, the relationship between POD and postoperative physical frailty and the effect of both on long-term clinical outcomes have not been fully explored. OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the associations among POD, postoperative frailty, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). DESIGN This was a prospective cohort study. METHODS We studied 329 consecutive patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The intensive care delirium screening checklist was used to assess POD. Postoperative frailty was defined by handgrip strength and walking speed. Patients were subsequently followed-up to detect MACE. RESULTS POD was present in 13.2%, while the incidence of postoperative frailty was 27.0%. POD was independently associated with development of postoperative frailty (adjusted odds ratio = 2.98). During follow-up, MACE occurred in 14.1% of all participants. On multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, POD (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 3.36), postoperative frailty (HR = 2.21), postoperative complications (HR = 1.54), and left ventricular ejection fraction (HR = 0.95) were independently associated with increased risk of MACE. LIMITATIONS It is a single-center study with a risk of bias. We did not investigate follow up cognitive function. CONCLUSIONS POD was a predictor of postoperative frailty after cardiac surgery. Both postoperative frailty and POD were associated with the incidence of MACE, while POD was the stronger predictor of MACE. Thus, POD and frailty play critical roles in the risk stratification of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Frailty effects and euro score system evaluation in postoperative outcomes of cardiac surgery patients
Background: Several scoring systems are available to evaluate the cardiac surgery risk. Frailty increases the risk of adverse outcomes after surgery. The Frailty evaluation system is a relatively new method, and in this study, we compared the frailty scoring method with the conventional Euroscore method. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 88 elderly patients (over 65 years of...

متن کاملQuality of postoperative care after major orthopedic surgery is correlated with both long-term cardiovascular outcome and troponin Ic elevation.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study performed in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery was to assess the impact of changes in practice on both the incidence of postoperative myocardial ischemia (PMI) detected by serial measurements of troponin Ic and long-term cardiac outcome. METHODS During a 3-yr period, troponin Ic was measured on the first 3 days after major orthopedic surgery in a mu...
