The relationship between blood glucose and clinical outcomes after extracorporeal circulation: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative blood glucose levels significantly impact outcomes in cardiac surgery patients undergoing extracorporeal circulation (ECC) auxiliary to open heart surgery. While hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are known risk factors for adverse outcomes, the optimal glycemic range for patients undergoing ECC remains unclear. This research examined the relationship between blood glucose levels and 90-day mortality in this high-risk group.

Methods

The data for this research were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database version 2.2(MIMIC-IV 2.2), including 4,033 patients who underwent ECC-assisted open-heart surgery. Patients were classified into quartiles based on blood glucose values measured within a 24 h period following admission to
