Predictive role of cardiopulmonary bypass exposure indexed to body surface area on postoperative organ dysfunction: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Long cardiopulmonary bypass times are associated with adverse postoperative outcomes and increased healthcare resource use. It is likely that this effect is pronounced in smaller patients. Previous studies have been criticized for not taking into consideration that prolonged bypass times are often due to higher complexity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between bypass index (bypass time/body surface area) and adverse postoperative events.

Methods

Single-centre, retrospective cohort study including 2413 patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass from June 2018 to April 2020. Length of hospital stay, as surrogate marker of postoperative morbidity, was selected as primary outcome. The strength of association between b
