Association of intraoperative hyperglycemia with postoperative composite infection after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between intraoperative hyperglycemia (IH) and postoperative infections in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is inadequately studied.

Methods

A total of 3,428 patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB at our institution between June 1, 2019 and July 30, 2021 were enrolled to evaluate the association of IH (blood glucose ≥ 180 mg/dL) with postoperative infection in patients. The new onset of any type of infection and the optimal cutoff values of intraoperative glucose to predict in-hospital infection were determined.

Results

The composite outcome occurred in 497 of 3,428 (14.50%) patients. IH was associated with an increased risk of postoperative composite infection [adjusted odds ratio: 1.39, (95% con
