Insights

A high preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) predicts increased complications and mortality in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. This finding aids in risk stratification for cardiac surgery patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Immunology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • On-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a standard treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • The cardiopulmonary bypass used in on-pump CABG can trigger a systemic inflammatory response, increasing morbidity and mortality risks.
  • Identifying predictive markers for adverse outcomes is crucial for optimizing patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the association between the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing on-pump CABG.
  • To determine if SII can serve as a predictive marker for complications and mortality following on-pump CABG.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 1056 patients who underwent on-pump CABG between January 2019 and December 2022.
  • Preoperative lymphocyte, neutrophil, and platelet counts were used to calculate the SII.
  • Patients were divided into two groups based on an SII cutoff value of 528.715 × 103/mm3 for comparative analysis.

Main Results:

  • A high preoperative SII (≥528.715 × 103/mm3) was observed in 46% of patients.
  • High SII was significantly associated with prolonged surgery duration, cardiopulmonary bypass time, mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, and hospital stay.
  • Elevated SII independently predicted increased risks of postoperative atrial fibrillation, cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, and mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Preoperative SII is a significant predictor of adverse perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing on-pump CABG.
  • Elevated SII levels indicate a higher risk of morbidity and mortality, suggesting its utility in risk stratification and patient management strategies.
