Sex-based association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adverse outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is shown to be an independent protective factor against coronary artery diseases (CAD). Yet there are limited studies focusing on the association between HDL-C and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery outcomes.

Hypothesis

Low levels of HDL-C are associated with higher incidence of adverse outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.

Methods

This registry-based study included 17,772 patients who underwent elective isolated CABG between 2007 and 2017. Patients were classified into low and desirable HDL-C groups based on their serum HDL-C levels at admission and were followed for one-year post-surgery. The study population included 13,321 patients with low HDL-C and 4,451 with desirable HDL-C. proportional hazard Co
