Abstract
Background
Alcohol abuse (AA) has s high prevalence, affecting 10 to 15 million Americans. While AA was demonstrated to negatively impact cardiovascular health, limited evidence from existing studies presents conflicting findings regarding the effects of AA on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes. This study aimed to compare the in-hospital outcomes after CABG between AA and non-AA patients.
Methods
Patients who underwent CABG were identified in National Inpatient Sample from Q4 2015–2020. Exclusion criteria included age<18 years and concomitant procedures. A 1:3 propensity-score matching was used to address differences in demographics, socioeconomic status, primary payer status, hospital characteristics, comorbidities, and transfer/admission status between AA and non-AA patients. In-hospital outcomes after CABG were examined.
Results
There were 5694 (3.39%) AA patients who underwent CABG. After matching, 17,315 from 162,488 non-AA patients were matched to all AA patients. AA and non-AA patients had comparable mortality (1.64% vs 1.55%, p = 0.67) and MACE (2.46% vs 2.56%, p = 0.73). However, AA patients had higher cardiogenic shock (8.31% vs 7.43%, p = 0.03), mechanical ventilation (11.51% vs 7.96%, p < 0.01), hemorrhage/hematoma (57.49% vs 54.75%, p < 0.01), superficial (0.99% vs 0.61%, p < 0.01) and deep wound complications (0.37% vs 0.18%, p = 0.02), reopen surgery for bleeding control (0.92% vs 0.63%, p = 0.03), transfer out (21.00% vs 16.38%, p < 0.01), longer time from admission to operation (p < 0.01), longer length of stay (p < 0.01), and higher hospital charge (p < 0.01).
Conclusion
While AA was not found to be linked with in-hospital mortality or MACE after CABG, it was independently associated with postoperative complications. These findings could enhance preoperative risk stratification for AA patients and inform postoperative management following CABG.
背景:酗酒(AA)的发病率很高,影响着 1,000 万至 1,500 万美国人。虽然酗酒被证明会对心血管健康产生负面影响,但现有研究中有限的证据显示,酗酒对冠状动脉搭桥术(CABG)结果的影响存在相互矛盾的结论。本研究旨在比较 AA 和非 AA 患者接受冠状动脉旁路移植术后的院内疗效:在 2015-2020 年第四季度的全国住院患者样本中确定了接受 CABG 的患者。排除标准包括年龄:接受 CABG 的 AA 患者有 5694 人(3.39%)。经过匹配,162488 名非 AA 患者中的 17315 人与所有 AA 患者匹配。AA 和非 AA 患者的死亡率(1.64% vs 1.55%,P=0.67)和 MACE(2.46% vs 2.56%,P=0.73)相当。然而,AA患者的心源性休克(8.31% vs 7.43%,P=0.03)、机械通气(11.51% vs 7.96%,P=0.03)和MACE(2.46% vs 2.56%,P=0.73)均较高:虽然AA与CABG术后的院内死亡率或MACE没有关联,但它与术后并发症有独立关联。这些发现可加强 AA 患者的术前风险分层,并为 CABG 术后管理提供参考。
期刊介绍:
Alcohol is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is devoted to publishing multi-disciplinary biomedical research on all aspects of the actions or effects of alcohol on the nervous system or on other organ systems. Emphasis is given to studies into the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and biomedical aspects of diagnosis, etiology, treatment or prevention of alcohol-related health effects.
Intended for both research scientists and practicing clinicians, the journal publishes original research on the neurobiological, neurobehavioral, and pathophysiological processes associated with alcohol drinking, alcohol abuse, alcohol-seeking behavior, tolerance, dependence, withdrawal, protracted abstinence, and relapse. In addition, the journal reports studies on the effects alcohol on brain mechanisms of neuroplasticity over the life span, biological factors associated with adolescent alcohol abuse, pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of alcoholism, biological and biochemical markers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, pathological effects of uncontrolled drinking, biomedical and molecular factors in the effects on liver, immune system, and other organ systems, and biomedical aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder including mechanisms of damage, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, and prevention. Articles are published from all levels of biomedical inquiry, including the following: molecular and cellular studies of alcohol''s actions in vitro and in vivo; animal model studies of genetic, pharmacological, behavioral, developmental or pathophysiological aspects of alcohol; human studies of genetic, behavioral, cognitive, neuroimaging, or pathological aspects of alcohol drinking; clinical studies of diagnosis (including dual diagnosis), treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. The journal will publish 9 issues per year; the accepted abbreviation for Alcohol for bibliographic citation is Alcohol.
