RESUMEN
Purpose: Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) has been reported as a prognostic marker of in-hospital mortality when it is below 60% in certain situations. Nevertheless, it has not been widely reported in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The study determined the association between ScvO2 and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing CABG in a high-complexity health institution in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with patients undergoing isolated CABG. The subject sample included 515 subjects aged 18 years or older. Exposure was defined as ScvO2 <60% upon admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) following surgery. The major outcome was mortality rates after 30 days. Furthermore, exposure variables were measured at preoperative, intra-operative, and postoperative time points. Results: A total of 103 exposed and 412 unexposed subjects were included. The final model revealed a higher mortality risk in individuals with ScvO2 <60% upon ICU admission compared with those with higher saturation levels (relative risk 4.2, 95% confidence interval: 2.4-7.2; p = 0.001). Values were adjusted using variables such as age (>75 years), low socioeconomic stratum, chronic kidney failure before surgery, unstable angina before surgery, ischemia time (>60 min), and intra-operative inotrope use. The primary cause of death was cardiogenic shock (54.7%), followed by sepsis (25.0%) and postoperative bleeding (17.2%). Conclusion: The study identified an association between ScvO2 <60% and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing CABG.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the factors associated with in-hospital mortality after a coronary artery bypass (CABG) in a high-complexity clinic in the city of Santiago de Cali, Colombia. METHODS: A retrospective case-control analytical study was performed. Cases were defined as adult patients that had undergone CABG and died within 30 days of the surgery. Patients aged ≥18 years that had undergone isolated surgeries were included, i.e. procedures without other interventions combined. Patients were excluded from this study if: 1) they had missing data in their medical records; 2) they had previously been in a state of coma; or 3) they had previously undergone cardiac surgery other than a bypass procedure. Exposure variables were measured at three stages: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. RESULTS: The study included 77 cases and 308 controls. The most common cause of death was cardiogenic shock (53.2%), followed by sepsis (27.3%). The multinomial logistic regression model revealed an association of in-hospital mortality with preoperative variables of age >75 years (odds ratio [OR] 2.5, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.1-5.8, P=0.032), low socioeconomic status (OR=2.3, 95% CI: 1.1-5.2, P=0.034), heart failure (HF) (OR=3.2, 95% CI: 1.5-7.0, P=0.002), unstable angina (OR=4.2, 95% CI: 1.9-9.0, P=0.000), acute myocardial infarction (AMI)≤7 days (OR=3.9, 95% CI: 1.1-13.7, P=0.037), chronic kidney insufficiency (CKI) (OR=2.9, 95% CI: 1.2-7.0, P=0.018), peripheral vascular disease (PVD) (OR=2.8, 95% CI: 1.2-6.8, P=0.019), and urgent/emergent surgery (OR=8.2, 95% CI: 2.0-34.5, P=0.004). Of the intraoperative variables, the model showed an association between the use of inotropic agents (OR=2.8, 95% CI: 1.3-6.4, P=0.011) and cardiogenic shock (OR=50.6, 95% CI: 7.5-339, P=0.000). CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies the factors during preoperative and intraoperative periods that are associated with in-hospital mortality in patients that have undergone CABG.

BACKGROUND: Currently, chronic pain is a disabling condition that is difficult to manage, which generates a high burden on health systems. The objective is to determine the effects of aerobic physical exercise in adults with chronic pain. METHODS: A systematic review of searches in databases including MEDLINE, LILACS, ScienceDirect, PEDro, OTseeker, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and Google Scholar was conducted. The search process was carried out until July 31, 2020, and the study selection process was independently carried out through a criteria analysis for each phase. Outcome measures were chosen: aerobic capacity, physical function, quality of life, and pain. RESULTS: Twenty-seven studies were included in which aerobic exercise was considered as an option to treat chronic pain. These studies showed significant results compared with other treatment options in terms of pain measurements (-0.22 [-0.42 to -0.03]) and aerobic capacity. For quality of life, there were significant improvements in the physical function component over the mental health component evaluated with the short form health survey-36/12. CONCLUSION: Aerobic exercise is a nonpharmacological therapeutic option for treatment. Also, aerobic capacity and endurance improved when this type of exercise was prescribed, thus resulting in a substantial improvement in the quality of life of people suffering from chronic pain.
