Effect of glycaemic control on coronary artery bypass grafting outcomes - a United Kingdom centre experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Assess whether pre-operative HbA_1c demonstrates positive predictive value relating to outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in diabetes patients.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of outcomes and mortality following CABG; examining the effects of diabetes and HbA_1c.

Results

Post-operative length of stay (LOS) was prolonged in elective and urgent diabetes patients;7.3 ± 2.1 versus 6.4 ± 1.6 days and 9.0 ± 1.9 versus 7.6 ± 1.8 days, respectively; (p < 0.001). Sternal and leg wound infection rate was higher in elective diabetes group compared to no-diabetes group; 7% versus 3% (p < 0.01) and 3% versus 1% (p < 0.05), respectively. Pneumonia rate increased in elective and urgent diabetes patients; 19% v
