Perioperative stroke and survival in coronary artery bypass grafting patients: a SWEDEHEART study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Perioperative stroke is a severe complication of cardiac surgery. We assessed the incidence of stroke over time, the association between stroke and mortality and identified preoperative factors independently associated with perioperative stroke, in a large nationwide cardiac surgery population.

Methods

All patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in Sweden 2006-2017 were included in a registry-based observational cohort study based on prospectively collected data. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression models were used to assess associations between perioperative stroke and mortality and to identify factors associated with stroke. The median follow-up was 6 years (range 0-12).

Results

There were 441 perioperative strokes in 36 898 patients.
