Insights
The Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry database is operational, enrolling over 7,000 patients. While on-pump CABG (ONCABG) patients had more severe conditions, outcomes were acceptable compared to off-pump CABG (OPCAB).
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Cardiac Surgery Registries
- Health Informatics
Background:
- The Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry was established to monitor surgical practices and outcomes.
- Understanding the registry's current status is crucial for quality improvement initiatives in cardiac surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the operational status and data quality of the Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry database.
- To analyze patient demographics, risk factors, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes within the registry.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 7,138 patients from the Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry (October 2017 - December 2019).
- Data collected included patient characteristics, coronary artery disease severity, surgical details (on-pump vs. off-pump CABG), and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).
- Statistical comparisons (t-test, chi-squared test) were performed between on-pump CABG (ONCABG) and off-pump CABG (OPCAB) groups.
Main Results:
- The registry enrolled 7,138 patients, with 4,661 undergoing primary isolated CABG.
- ONCABG patients (n=2,731) presented with more comorbidities and severe coronary lesions compared to OPCAB patients (n=1,930), indicated by higher EuroSCORE II.
- In-hospital mortality was 1.80%, with higher MACCE rates observed in the ONCABG group (4.94% vs. 3.68% in OPCAB).
Conclusions:
- The Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry database is functioning well, though data parameters require refinement.
- ONCABG is associated with more complex preoperative patient conditions but yields acceptable outcomes.
- The registry provides valuable data for assessing and improving coronary artery bypass grafting practices in the region.
Abstract:
Objective: To examine the overall status of the Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry database. Methods: The patients date of Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry database from October 2017 to December 2019 was collected retrospectively.Risk factors, history, cardiac function (New York Heart Association class), extent of coronary artery lesion, European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation Ⅱ (EuroSCORE Ⅱ), cardiopulmonary bypss, arterial grafts, the numbers and flow of grafts and postoperative major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event(MACCE) information were analyzed. The clinical data of patients underwent on-pump CABG(ONCABG) or off-pump CABG (OPCAB) were compared by t test or χ(2) test. Results: Up till December 2019, the database enrolled 7 138 patients, in which 4 661 patients receiving primary isolated CABG. There were 3 486 males and 1 175 females with the age of (64.6±8.1) years (range:31 to 87 years). There were coronary left main disease in 960 patients, triple vessel disease in 3 934 patients, both left main and triple vessel disease in 837 patients, ejection fraction>50% in 3 841 patients, cardiac function class Ⅲ to Ⅳ in 1 664 patients. EuroSCORE Ⅱ was (2.3±0.7)% (range: 0.5% to 35.8%). There were 2 731 patients (58.59%) underwent ONCABG and 1 930 patients (41.41%) underwent OPCAB. There were 4 144 patients (88.91%) for whom the left internal thoracic artery was harvested. Seven centers (2 centers routinely) used left radial artery, 5 centers (3 centers routinely) used the transit time flow meter. The graft was 3.4±0.7 (range:1 to 7), the aortic crossclamp time was (65.0±20.4) minutes (range: 21 to 196 minutes), the cardiopulmonary bypass time was (90.0±24.2) minutes (range: 33 to 227 minutes). In-hospital death ocurred in 84 patients(1.80%), while re-operation in 93 patients (2.00%), myocardial infarction in 71 patients (1.52%), cerebral infarction in 33 patients (0.71%) and dialysis in 56 patients (1.20%). There were 2 936 patients prescribed with secondary prevention drugs(62.99%).Comparing with OPCAB group, ONCABG group had younger age, more female, more diabetes mellitus, more history of myocardial infarction and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, poorer cardiac function and coronary lesions, higher EuroSCORE Ⅱ, preoperatively (all P<0.05), and was associated with higher MACCE (135/2 731 vs. 71/1 930, χ(2)=4.280, P=0.039), and of more grafts, transfusion and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation application (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Jiangsu Province Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Registry database is generally in good operation, and some parameters still need to be improved. Comparing with OPCAB group, ONCABG has more severe preoperative general conditions, while the outcomes is acceptable.
