Body mass index and postoperative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery plus valve replacement: a retrospective cohort study

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative mortality in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery plus valve replacement is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative mortality among patients who simultaneously underwent both CABG surgery plus valve replacement.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 1976 patients who underwent CABG surgery at our hospital between January 2017 and April 2021, including 202 patients who underwent valve replacement surgery during the same period. We analyzed the relationship between BMI and postoperative mortality. The relationship between BMI and postoperative mortality was assessed using smooth curve fitting and a Multiple logistic
