PURPOSE: @entity4854 during or after cardiac surgery is a common finding that is associated with poor outcome. Very few data, however, are available regarding a correlation between admission blood @entity413 and outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Thus, the goal of the current study was to examine the relationship between admission blood @entity413 and outcome after emergency CABG surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis to evaluate whether admission @entity4854 associated with increased morbidity or mortality was performed in @entity1 after emergency CABG surgery. The records of all the @entity1 undergoing emergency CABG surgery between January 1999 and December 2010 at the University of Virginia Health System were reviewed. Postoperative in-hospital mortality and complications were considered as study end points. RESULTS: A total of 240 @entity1 met the final inclusion criteria. Overall mortality was 14.1%. The median admission blood @entity413 in @entity1 who died 7.4 (interquartile range, 5.9-10.1) mmol/L was significantly higher compared with survivors 6.1 (interquartile range, 5.4-7.2; P < .01). Furthermore, 59% of the @entity1 who died had admission blood @entity413 levels higher than 6.6 mmol/L, whereas only 35% of the @entity1 who survived had similar blood @entity413 levels (P = .01). On multivariable analysis, admission blood @entity413 was identified as an independent risk factor for @entity204 after emergency CABG (P = .01; odds ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.29). Admission blood @entity413 was further identified as independently associated with increased risk for a composite outcome of @entity204 , @entity177 or @entity64 (P = .01; odds ratio, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.27). CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows for the first time that admission blood @entity413 is correlated with increased morbidity and mortality among @entity1 undergoing emergency CABG surgery.

Admission XXXX is associated with poor outcome after emergent coronary bypass grafting surgery.
