Contemporary comparative surgical outcomes of type A aortic dissection in US and China: an analysis of the national inpatient sample database and a Chinese multi-institutional registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the contemporary comparative inpatient prognosis among US and Chinese patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD).

Methods

Data from Chinese multi-institutional TAAD registry and the US National Inpatient Sample databases were analyzed. We used multivariable logistic regression models to compare in-hospital mortality and perioperative complication rates between the US and China. Length of stay and overall costs were fitted with quantile regression models. Independent prognostic factors associated with post-operative survival were assessed via Cox proportional hazards models.

Results

Among 3,121 eligible TAAD patients, 1,073 were from China (25.0% female; mean ± SD age, 53.9 ± 12.4) and 2,048 were from the US (31.2% female; mean ± SE age, 59
