Impact of early postoperative blood glucose variability on serum endocan level in cardiac surgery patients: a sub study of the ENDOLUNG observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early postoperative glycemic variability is associated with worse outcome after cardiac surgery, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to describe the relationship between postoperative glycemic variability and endothelial function, as assessed by serum endocan level in cardiac surgery patients.

Methods

We performed a post hoc analysis of patients included in the single-center observational ENDOLUNG study. Adult patients who underwent planned isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery were eligible. Postoperative glycemic variability was assessed by calculating the coefficient of variability (CV) of blood glucose measured within 24 (CV₂₄) and 48 (CV₄₈) hours after surgery. Serum endocan level was measured at 24 (En
