ABSTRACT
The study aimed to assess the predictive value of blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-to-albumin ratio (BA-R) for in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Patients who were diagnosed with ATAAD and underwent emergency surgery within 48 hours of onset at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2021 were included in this study. The primary endpoint of this study was postoperative in-hospital mortality (POIM). The data of the survivors and non-survivors were retrospectively compared analyses. A total of 557 ATAAD patients were included, with 505 survivors and 52 non-survivors. The preoperative BA-R of the non-survivor group was significantly higher than that of the survivor group (P < 0.001). Univariate regression analysis showed that preoperative BA-R, serum creatinine level, SA level, D-dimer level, age, myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia, and aortic clamp time were risk factors for POIM. In addition, multivariable regression analysis showed that preoperative BA-R ≥ 0.155 mmol/g was a risk factor for POIM (odds ratio, 6.815 [3.582-12.964]; P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the cut-off point for preoperative BA-R was ≥0.155 mmol/g (area under the curve =0.874). The sensitivity and specificity of preoperative BA-R in predicting the POIM of patients who underwent emergency surgery for ATAAD were 84.6% and 71.3%, respectively (95% confidence interval, 0.829-0.919; P < 0.001). In conclusion, Preoperative BA-R is a simple, rapid, and potentially useful prognostic indicator of POIM in patients with ATAAD.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of BA-R for the prediction of postoperative in-hospital mortality in patients who underwent emergency surgery for ATAAD. A total of 557 patients with ATAAD were enrolled, and 505 survived while 52 did not. The preoperative BA-R of the non-survivor group was significantly higher than that of the survivor group (0.27 [0.18, 0.46] vs. 0.12 [0.10, 0.16]mmol/g; P < 0.001). The study showed that preoperative BA-R ≥ 0.155 mmol/g was a risk factor for POIM (odds ratio, 6.815 [3.582-12.964]; P < 0.001). ROC curve indicated that the cut-off point for preoperative BA-R was ≥0.155 mmol/g (AUC = 0.874) and the sensitivity and specificity were 84.6% and 71.3%, respectively (95% CI, 0.829-0.919; P < 0.001). We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because we found preoperative BA-R to be a simple, rapid, and potentially useful prognostic indicator of postoperative in-hospital mortality in patients with ATAAD.
