Risk factors for postoperative sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy in patients undergoing general thoracic surgery: a single center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current study aimed to investigate the incidence of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) in patients who received general thoracic surgery, along with the risk factors and management strategies for this complication.

Methods

The clinical records of 163 patients with postoperative sepsis were retrospectively reviewed. After propensity score matching, 144 patients were divided into 2 groups by stroke volume: the SICM group (n=72) and the non-SICM group (n=72).

Results

The overall incidence of postoperative SICM was 53.99%. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that stroke volume and C-reactive protein were independent predictors of mortality in patients with postoperative sepsis. Statistical analysis by t-test and χ² test indicate
