Smoking and long-term risks for morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We explored the association between smoking and long-term risks of morbidity and mortality in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods

This population-based registry study included 27,434 patients (mean age 67.9 years, 18.2 % women), divided into: never smokers (n = 8,593), former smokers (n = 14,666) and current smokers (n = 4,175), who underwent CABG between 2010 and 2020. Data were collected from the SWEDEHEART registry. Three other mandatory registers provided data on comorbidities, social factors and outcome variables. Adjusted Cox regression models were used to estimate mortality and morbidity. The median follow-up was 5 (0-11) years.

Results

Current smokers were younger and had a higher proportion of previous myocard
