Fixed and random effects model were applied to collect standardized mean differences and risk differences. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 and JAMOVI version 2.4.8.0.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> Seven RCTs consisting of 1.780 patients and seven cohort studies consisting of 46.710 patients were included in the quantitative analysis. The results of the RCT analysis showed no significant differences in all-cause readmission (RD − 0.01; 95% CI: − 0.04 to 0.01; Z=1.20; <em>p</em>=0.23; I<sup>2</sup>=0%) and mortality (RD 0.00; 95% CI: − 0.01 to 0.01; Z=0.01; <em>p</em>=0.99; I<sup>2</sup>=0%) and also significant in reducing LOS in hour (SMD − 2.32; 95% CI: − 3.13 to − 1.51; Z=5.64; <em>p</em>&lt; 0.001; I<sup>2</sup>=93%) and day (SMD − 0.58; 95% CI: - 1.00 to − 0.17; Z=2.76; <em>p</em>=0.006; I<sup>2</sup>=84%). In addition, analysis of cohort studies showed that ED strategy was associated with all-cause readmission (RD − 0.00; 95% CI: − 0.01 to − 0.00; Z =2.18; <em>p</em>=0.03; I<sup>2</sup>=0%) and mortality (RD − 0.01; 95% CI: − 0.02 to − 0.00; Z=2.04; <em>p</em>=0.04; I<sup>2</sup>=94%).<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> ED strategies in low-risk patients after PPCI can be completely safe. This is proven by the absence of significant differences in readmission and mortality rates as well as reduce the length of stay.<br/><br/>","PeriodicalId":22977,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140044270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chylothorax has a higher incidence in infancy, but its risk factors are not well understood.<br/><strong>Objective:</strong> The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors of chylothorax after congenital heart surgery in infants.<br/><strong>Methods:</strong> This retrospective study included 176 infants who underwent congenital heart disease surgery at the Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, China, between 2016 and 2020. According to the occurrence of chylothorax, the patients were divided into a control group (n = 88) and a case group (n = 88). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to analyse the incidence and influencing factors of chylothorax after congenital heart surgery in infants.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> Between 2016 and 2020, the annual incidence rate fluctuated between 1.55% and 3.17%, and the total incidence of chylothorax was 2.02%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative albumin (<em>p</em> = 0.041; odds ratio [OR] = 0.095), preoperative mechanical ventilation (<em>p</em> = 0.001; OR = 1.053) and preterm birth (<em>p</em> = 0.002; OR = 5.783) were risk factors for postoperative chylothorax in infants with congenital heart disease.<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The total incidence of chylothorax was 2.02% and the annual incidence rate fluctuated between 1.55% and 3.17% between 2016 and 2020. Premature infants, longer preoperative mechanical ventilation and lower albumin after congenital heart surgery may be risk factors for chylothorax. In addition, infants with chylothorax are inclined to be infected, need more respiratory support, use a chest drainage tube for longer and remain longer in hospital.<br/><br/>","PeriodicalId":22977,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management","volume":"301 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140036912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
