Predictors of outcome after CABG in the South-Asian community: a propensity matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ethnicity is not incorporated into standardized pre-operative risk-stratification tools for cardiac surgery. This study compared short-term outcomes following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in South Asian and non-Asian patients.

Methods

Consecutive patients undergoing isolated CABG surgery via sternotomy between the years 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Initially, 1957 patients were identified (799 South-Asian, 40.8%). The patient groups were then propensity matched according to 10 relevant pre-operative covariates (age, body mass index, pulmonary disease, renal failure, smoking, diabetes, ventricular function, renal failure): 675 non-Asian patients were matched against 675 Asian patients.

Results

Operative mortality was 1.77% and
