Association between preoperative phase angle and all-cause mortality after cardiovascular surgery: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The importance of preoperative physical function assessment for post-operative intervention has been reported in older patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Phase angle (PhA), measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis, is an indicator of cellular health and integrity and is reported as a prognostic factor in several chronic diseases; however, its association with the long-term prognosis of cardiovascular surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of PhA for long-term mortality in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent elective cardiovascular surgery between October 2016 and March 2021 at Nagoya Heart Center, Japan. PhA was assesse
