Trends in mortality and major complications for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting among Urban Teaching Hospitals in China: 2004 to 2013.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Although the number of hospitals performing cardiac surgery has increased rapidly in China, information regarding the trends in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes remains unknown.

Methods and results

We used data from the Chinese Cardiac Surgery Registry, the largest registry system that accounts for nearly 50% of total annual CABG volume in China, to assess trends of in-hospital mortality and major complication rates for patients receiving isolated CABG in 102 urban teaching hospitals in China from 25 January 2004 through 31 December 2013 (except 2006 and 2009).
