We further explored the impact of socioeconomic factors on functional recovery using the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD). The outcome measures included duration of level 3 and level 2 care, duration of hospital stay, readmission and both short- and longer-term mortality.

Patients deemed to be 'frail' had a longer stay in intensive care, required level 3 cardiovascular and respiratory support for longer and stayed longer in the hospital.

Multivariate logistic regression identified prolonged CPB duration (≥ 120 min; OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.06-3.26, p = 0.029), hypertension (OR 1.86; 95% CI, 1.01-3.44; p = 0.049), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.88-0.96; p < 0.001), and aortic surgery (OR, 2.72; 95% CI, 1.20-6.19; p = 0.017) as independent risk factors for GICs. Additionally, prolonged ventilator time and higher in-hospital costs were more prevalent in the prolonged CPB group.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Prolonged CPB (≥ 120 min), hypertension, LVEF, and aortic surgery are significant risk factors for GICs following cardiac surgery with CPB. Early identification of high-risk patients may facilitate timely intervention, reduce complications, and improve postoperative recovery outcomes.</p><p><strong>Trial registration: </strong>ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06697405.</p>","PeriodicalId":19764,"journal":{"name":"Perioperative Medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":"42"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11998269/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144022840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
