Adverse events in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) trials: a systematic review and analysis.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To quantify the incidence of major adverse events (AEs) occurring in hospital or within 30 days after surgery in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and to identify risk factors for these AEs. METHODS:Systematic review and analysis of studies published in English since 1990. Studies of isolated standard CABG reporting postoperative incidence of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, renal failure, or death in hospital or within 30 days were eligible for inclusion. Incidence of these events was calculated overall and for selected patient groups defined by all elective CABG versus mixed (some non-elective); mean ejection fraction < or = 50% versus > 50%; mean age < or= 60 versus > 60 years; primary CABG versus some reoperations;
