RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate early complications in prepectoral breast reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective cohort study including 180 consecutive cases of nipple-sparing mastectomy, comparing immediate breast reconstruction with subpectoral to prepectoral mammary implants in 2012-2022. Clinical and demographic characteristics and complications in the first three months following surgery were compared between the two techniques. Results: The prepectoral technique was used in 22 cases (12.2%) and the subpectoral in 158 (87.8%). Median age was higher in the prepectoral group (47 versus 43.8 years; p=0.038), as was body mass index (25.1 versus 23.8; p=0.002) and implant volume (447.5 versus 409 cc; p=0.001). The prepectoral technique was more associated with an inframammary fold (IMF) incision (19 cases, 86.4% versus 85, 53.8%) than with periareolar incisions (3 cases, 13.6% versus 73, 46.2%); (p=0.004). All cases in the prepectoral group underwent direct-to-implant reconstruction compared to 54 cases (34.2%) in the subpectoral group. Thirty-eight complications were recorded: 36 (22.8%) in the subpectoral group and 2 (9.1%) in the prepectoral group (p=0.24). Necrosis of the nipple-areola complex/skin flap occurred in 27 patients (17.1%) in the subpectoral group (prepectoral group: no cases; p=0.04). The groups were comparable regarding dehiscence, seroma, infection, and hematoma. Reconstruction failed in one case per group (p=0.230). In the multivariate analysis, IMF incision was associated with the prepectoral group (aOR: 34.72; 95%CI: 2.84-424.63). Conclusion: The incidence of early complications was comparable between the two techniques and compatible with previous reports. The clinical and demographic characteristics differed between the techniques. Randomized clinical trials are required.

RESUMO

Effective patient positioning is a critical factor influencing surgical outcomes, mainly in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) where precise positioning facilitates optimal access to the surgical field. This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of the significance of strategic patient placement in MIGS, emphasizing its role in preventing intraoperative injuries and enhancing overall surgical success. The manuscript addresses potential complications arising from suboptimal positioning and highlights the essential key points for appropriate patient positioning during MIGS, encompassing what the surgical team should or shouldn't do. In this perspective, the risk factors associated with nerve injuries, sliding, compartment syndrome, and pressure ulcers are outlined to guide clinical practice. Overall, this paper underscores the critical role of precise patient positioning in achieving successful MIGS procedures and highlights key principles for the gynecological team to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To investigate the efficiency of a new method for the prevention of argentinian flag sign during the process of continuous, circular, and centered anterior capsulotomy (CCC) on the anterior capsule in cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts. This study was registered in an appropriate registry and the registration number of registration was xyy11[2022]-XJSFX-087; The date of of registration was 2022-04-29. METHODS: Preoperative examinations including slit-lamp examination, ocular A-scan ultrasonography, and Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) UBM were conducted on 61 patients with intumescent cataracts. Cases with cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts were selected and after staining with indocyanine green, the anterior chamber air bubble technique was used to compress the anterior capsule, and liquefied cortex was aspirated using a puncture needle. Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) and intraocular pressure were recorded on postoperative days 1, 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were documented and analyzed. RESULTS: Fifty eyes were identified as having cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts. No cases of the Argentinian flag sign occurred, and standard capsulorrhexis was achieved, facilitating smooth phacoemulsification. All patients achieved satisfactory outcomes at follow-ups of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months postoperatively. Mild corneal edema was observed in three cases on the first postoperative day, with no other complications noted. CONCLUSIONS: The anterior chamber air bubble technique combined with cortical fluid release technique can prevent the occurrence of the Argentinian flag sign in cortically liquefied intumescent cataracts, this method is simple, convenient and economic for the clinical promotion.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing high-risk surgeries with acid-based disorders are associated with poor outcomes. The screening of mixed acid-based metabolic disorders by calculating delta anion gap (AG)/delta bicarbonate (Bic) has a clinically relevant role in patients with high AG metabolic acidosis (MA), however its utility in individuals facing high-risk surgical procedures remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: Characterize metabolic acidosis using delta-AG/delta-Bic and its associations in patients undergoing high-risk surgeries with possible outcome-related complications. DESIGN: Prospective observational multicentric study. SETTING: Three tertiary hospitals in Brazil. PATIENTS: Patients undergoing high-risk surgeries, aged 18 years or older, requiring postoperative critical care. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients undergoing high-risk surgeries monitored during the postoperative phase across three distinct intensive care units (ICUs), with assessment encompassing laboratory analyses upon admission and 24 h thereafter. Patients with MA and with elevated AG within 24 h were separated into 3 subgroups: [G1 - delta-AG/delta-Bic < 1.0] MA associated with hyperchloremia; [G2 - delta-AG/delta-Bic between 1.0 and 1.6] MA and no mixed disorders; and [G3 - delta-AG/delta-Bic > 1.6] MA associated with alkalosis. Primary endpoint was 30-day mortality. The secondary endpoints were cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurological, coagulation and infective complications. RESULTS: From the 621 surgical patients admitted to ICU, 421 (51.7%) had any type of acidosis. After 24 h, 140 patients remained with MA with elevated AG (G1: 101, G2: 18, and G3: 21). When compared to patients from subgroups 1 and 3, the subgroup with no mixed disorders 2 showed higher 30-day mortality (adjusted HR = 3.72; 95% CI 1.11-12.89, p = 0.001), cardiovascular complications (p = 0.001), ICU mortality (p = 0.03) and sum of all complications during the ICU period (p = 0.021). CONCLUSION: In the postoperative time, patients with metabolic acidosis and no mixed disorders present higher ICU-Mortality and higher cardiovascular postoperative complications when compared with patients with combined hyperchloremia or alkalosis. Delta-AG/delta-Bic can be a useful tool to evaluate major clinical outcomes in this population.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Glomerulonephritis (GN) is one of the main causes of end-stage renal disease worldwide and therefore a frequent cause of kidney transplantation, with the possibility of recurrence of GN (Recurrent Glomerulonephritis [GNR]) in the transplanted kidney. The purpose of this study was to identify the clinic and pathological characteristics of GNR in a population of transplant patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive, retrospective study was carried out in 109 patients in whom GNR was documented in the transplanted kidney demonstrated by biopsy during the period between 1998-2021. RESULTS: Of 109 patients, the most frequent GNR was GNIgA, in 38.5% (42), followed by FSGS with 31.2% (34); These same entities were the ones that presented the greatest graft dysfunction, with 50% (21) and 26.2% (11) respectively. The ranges of proteinuria indicated by the biopsy were 31.2% (34) with a range of 500 to 3500mg/24h and 34.9% (38) with proteinuria >3500mg/24h. In relation to the time elapsed between the transplant and the diagnosis of GNR, 33% (36) of the cases were >5 years, followed by 1 to 5 years in 26.6% (29). Recurrence in patients with GNIgA occurred mostly after 5 years post-transplant with 45.2% (19) and for FSGS it was between 1 and 6 months. CONCLUSION: We found a general frequency of GNR presentation similar to those reported by other centers where biopsies are performed for clinical indication, finding that the GN that recurred most frequently are GNIgA and FSGS.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Surgery is a cost-effective public health intervention. Access to safe surgery is a basic human right. However, there are still significant disparities in the access to and safety of surgical and anaesthesia care between low-income and middle-income countries and high-income countries. The Latin American Surgical Outcomes Study in Paediatrics (LASOS-Peds) is an international, observational, 14-day cohort study to investigate the incidence of 30-day in-hospital complications following elective or emergency paediatric surgery in Latin American countries. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: LASOS-Peds is a prospective, international, multicentre observational study of paediatric patients undergoing both elective and non-elective surgeries and procedures, inpatient and outpatient, including those performed outside the operating room. The primary outcome is the incidence of in-hospital postoperative complications up to 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes include intraoperative complications and the need for intensive care unit admission. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study received approval from the Institutional Review Board of the coordinating centre (Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo) as well as from all the participating centres. The study results are expected to be published in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated at international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05934682.

RESUMO

Aging and face sagging have many causes, and various techniques are used for treatment, including noninvasive procedures, such as focused ultrasound, which uses the principle of collagen regeneration by coagulative necrosis of the dermis layers using radiofrequency, but this procedure has complications. We reported a case of a 54-year-old female patient who complained of poor visual acuity in her right eye three days after a focused ultrasound facial aesthetic procedure, with the best visual acuity of 20/60. Biomicroscopy of the right eye revealed an acute cataract with three points of fibrosis extending from the posterior to the anterior capsule. The patient underwent phacoemulsification surgery with visual rehabilitation and improved vision of 20/20. We hypothesized that the occurrence of acute cataract was related to the inappropriate use of focused ultrasound.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the risk of postoperative complications in cardiac patients. METHODS: an evaluative study using the Tuman Score on medical records of 70 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a University Hospital. The R for Windows software was used for the analyses. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were employed to verify the association between the risk score and complications. The relative risk between the Tuman Score and postoperative complications was obtained through Quasi-Poisson regression, with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: the majority of the patients were male (58.57%), aged between 41-64 years (50%), who underwent myocardial revascularization (50%). These patients were associated with a lower risk of postoperative complications (p=0.003), (p=0.008), and (p=0.000), respectively. High-risk patients had pulmonary complications (RR=1.32, p=0.002) and neurological complications (RR=1.20, p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS: preoperative risk assessment promotes qualified care to reduce postoperative complications.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess the impact of thinness on the outcome of the percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A matched case-control study was performed using a prospectively collected database of all patients who underwent PCNL between June 2011 and October 2021. The patients were stratified into two groups according to their phenotypic characteristics, arbitrarily defined according to their body mass index (BMI): <0kg/m2 (Group 1, very thin patients, G<20) and ≥25 kg/m2 (Group 2, non-thin patients, G≥25). Patients were randomly matched based on Guy's Stone Score (GSS) according to case complexity at a ratio of 1:3. RESULTS: A total of 204 patients were enrolled in this study: 51 patients (G<20) and 153 controls (G≥25). Complications occurred in 15.2% of the patients, with 5.4% of these complications classified as major complications (Clavien grade ≥ 3). According to complications there were no significant differences between the groups. The overall complication rates were 17.6% in the G<20 and 14.4% in the G≥25 (p = 0.653). The major complication rates were 3.9% in the G<20 and 5.8% in the G≥25 (p=0.429). No differences in transfusion or urinary fistula rates were found. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, very thin patients were not at a higher risk of complications when submitted to PCNL than in those with a BMI of ≥25 kg/m2. Apparently, this technique can be used in these patients, just as it is used in any other type of patient, independently of their BMI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mechanic sutures represent an enormous benefit for digestive surgery in decreasing postoperative complications. Currently, the advantages of motorized stapler are under evaluation. AIMS: To compare the efficacy of mechanic versus motorized stapler in gastric surgery, analyzing rate of leaks, bleeding, time of stapling, and postoperative complications. METHODS: Ninety-eight patients were submitted to gastric surgery, divided into three groups: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) (n=47), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) (n=30), and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) (n=21). Motorized staplers were employed in 61 patients. The number of firings, number of clips, time of total firings, total time to complete the surgery, and postoperative outcome were recorded in a specific protocol. RESULTS: Patients submitted to LSG, LRYGB, and LDG recorded a shorter time to complete the procedure and a smaller number of firings were observed using motorized stapler (p<0.0001). No differences were identified regarding the number of clips used in patients submitted to LSG. In the group that used mechanic stapler to complete gastrojejunostomy, jejuno-jejuno-anastomosis, and jejunal transection, it was observed more prolonged time of firing and total time for finishing the procedure (p=0.0001). No intraoperative complications were found comparing the two devices used. Very similar findings were noted in the group of patients undergoing LDG. CONCLUSIONS: The motorized stapler offers safety and efficacy as demonstrated in prior reports and is relevant since less total time of surgical procedure without intraoperative or postoperative complications were confirmed.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The effect of pump flow type on perfusion in coronary surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is discussed. We aimed to evaluate the effect of pump flow type on cognitive functions with neurocognitive function tests. METHODS: One hundred patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery between November 2020 and July 2021 were divided into two equa groups. Groups were formed according to pump flow type pulsatile (Group 1) and non-pulsatile (Group 2). Clock drawing test (CDT) and standardized mini mental test (SMMT) were performed on the patients in both groups in the preoperative period, on the 1st preoperative day, and on the day before discharge. Neurocognitive effects were compared with all follow-up parameters. RESULTS: There was no difference between the groups in terms of demographic data and in terms of neurocognitive tests performed before the operation. SMMT on postoperative day 1 (Group I: 27.64 ± 1.05; Group II: 24.44 ± 1.64; P=0.001) and CDT (Group I: 5.4 ± 0.54; Group II: 4 .66 ± 0.52; P=0.001), and SMMT on the day before discharge (Group I: 27.92 ± 1.16; Group II: 24.66 ± 1.22; P=0.001) and CDT (Group I: 5 It was calculated as .66 ± 0.48; Group II: 5.44 ± 0.5; P=0.001). The duration of intensive care and hospitalization were higher in the non-pulsatile group. CONCLUSION: We think that the type of pump flow used in coronary artery bypass surgery using CPB is effective in terms of neurocognitive functions and that pulsatile flow makes positive contributions to this issue.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: With the introduction of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, more commonly cases of lung herniation are starting to appear. Acquired lung hernias are classified as postoperative, traumatic, pathologic, and spontaneous. Up to 83% of lung hernias are intercostal. Herein, we describe patients presenting with intercostal lung hernias following minimally invasive cardiac surgery at a single center in Medellín, Colombia. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective search of all patients presenting with intercostal lung hernias secondary to minimally invasive cardiac surgery at our clinic in Medellín since the beginning of our program, from 2010 to 2022. Mini-sternotomies were excluded from our study. We reviewed the incision type and other possible factors leading to intercostal lung hernia development. We also describe the approach taken for these patients. RESULTS: From 2010 up until 2022, 803 adult patients underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgeries through a mini-thoracotomy. At the time of data retrieval, nine patients presented with intercostal lung hernias at the previous incision site. Five hernias (55%) were from right 2nd intercostal parasternal mini-thoracotomies for aortic valve surgeries. Four hernias (45%) were from right 4th intercostal lateral mini-thoracotomies for mitral valve surgeries. Our preferred repair technique is a video-assisted thoracoscopic mesh approach. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive cardiac surgical approaches are becoming more routine. Proper wound closure is critical in preventing lung hernias. Additionally, timely diagnosis and opportune hernia surgery using video-assisted thoracoscopic mesh repair can prevent further complications.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to identify perioperative risk factors of laryngeal symptoms and to develop an implementable risk prediction model for Chinese hospitalized patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: A total of 1476 Chinese CABG patients admitted to Wuhan Asian Heart Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were included and then divided into a modeling cohort and a verification cohort. Univariate analysis was used to identify laryngeal symptoms risk factors, and multivariate logistic regression was applied to construct a prediction model for laryngeal symptoms after CABG. Discrimination and calibration of this model were validated based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test, respectively. RESULTS: The incidence of laryngeal symptoms in patients who underwent CABG was 6.48%. Four independent risk factors were included in the model, and the established aryngeal complications risk calculation formula was Logit (P) = -4.525 + 0.824 × female + 2.09 × body mass index < 18.5 Kg/m2 + 0.793 × transesophageal echocardiogram + 1.218 × intensive care unit intubation time. For laryngeal symptoms, the area under the ROC curve was 0.769 in the derivation cohort (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.698-0.840) and 0.811 in the validation cohort (95% CI: 0.742-0.879). According to the H-L test, the P-values in the modeling group and the verification group were 0.659 and 0.838, respectively. CONCLUSION: The prediction model developed in this study can be used to identify high-risk patients for laryngealsymptoms undergoing CABG, and help clinicians implement the follow-up treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Liver transplantation in pediatric patients is a crucial intervention for treating end-stage hepatic diseases. Despite significant advances in surgical techniques and postoperative care, complications remain a substantial challenge in this population. Biliary stones, an infrequent complication, present challenges in this context. Given the impossibility of endoscopic treatments, different strategies have been explored to address post-liver transplantation gallstones in children by implementing percutaneous treatment with intraductal lithotripsy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 7-year-old Latin patient, who had a diagnosis of biliary atresia at the age of 2, underwent a liver transplant from a living donor. However, 4 months after the transplant, the patient experienced recurring episodes of cholangitis. Cholangioresonance revealed intrahepatic lithiasis and anastomotic stenosis. Attempted gallstone removal through percutaneous cholangiography proved unsuccessful, as multiple peripheral stones in all ducts remained immobile. Subsequently, a percutaneous endoscopic cholangioscopy using the SpyGlass Discover system for visual examination of the bile ducts + electrohydraulic lithotripsy was performed, effectively removing the stones without any complications. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous cholangioscopy with intraductal lithotripsy enables accurate identification and extraction of intrahepatic stones without the need for surgical intervention. This method proves to be a valuable alternative in addressing post-transplant biliary stone. In our case, it was performed on a pediatric patient who underwent liver transplantation, which makes it interesting and relevant as there is currently insufficient literature on this approach in such cases in this population.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This study investigated variables associated with mortality in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) diagnosed with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and a simultaneous Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study enrolling KTRs diagnosed with PTLD between 2018 and 2020. Outcome: death within two years after diagnosis. RESULTS: Among 1,625 KTRs who collected EBV viremia (by PCR, 2018-2020) for any reason, 238 (14.6%) had a positive viral load and 41 (17.2%) simultaneous PTLD. These 41 patients were 40.1 years old at diagnosis and 8.6 years after transplantation; 26.8% were induced with rATG and 92.7% were maintained on tacrolimus and azathioprine (TAC/AZA) as immunosuppressive regimen. Lymph nodes (75.6%) was the most common site of PTLD, followed by the gastrointestinal tract (48.8%), with 61.0% at Lugano stage IV and 80.5% monomorphic PTLD. The mean EBV viral load was 12,198 IU/mL. One- and two-year patient survival post-diagnosis was 60.4% and 46.8%, respectively. In the Cox regression analysis, age at PTLD diagnosis (HR for each year = 1.039; p < 0.001) and EBV viral load (HR for each log = 1.695; p = 0.026) were associated with risk of death. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that in patients predominantly on TAC/AZA, PTLD with simultaneous EBV positive viral load is a late event, and worse survival is associated with older age and EBV viral load at diagnosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to detect the incidence of postoperative delirium in critically ill patients admitted to a surgical intensive care unit and to evaluate the predisposing and precipitating factors associated with postoperative delirium in critically ill patients admitted to a surgical intensive care unit. METHOD: this is a prospective cohort study of 157 critically ill surgical patients. Fisher's exact test and Chi-square test were used for the association between factors and the occurrence of delirium, the Wilcoxon test for numerical variables, and the logistic regression model for the analysis of predisposing and precipitating factors. RESULTS: the incidence of delirium was 28% (n=44). Age was a significant predisposing factor (p=0.001), followed by the length of surgery (p<0.001), blood transfusion (p=0.043), administration of crystalloids (p=0.008), and anti-inflammatory drugs (p=0.037), which were the precipitating factors identified. The best-adjusted models were: age, length of surgery, non-administration of anti-emetics, use of sufentanil, and blood transfusion. CONCLUSION: delirium is a frequent condition in critically ill adults undergoing surgery and the existence of precipitating and predisposing factors is relevant to the outcome, with the anesthetic-surgical procedure as the catalyst event.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Renal dysfunction is a common complication following liver transplantation (LT). This study aimed to determine whether a comprehensive assessment of kidney function using nineteen serum and urinary biomarkers (BMs) within the first 48 h post-LT could enhance the prediction of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and the need of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) during the first postoperative week. METHODS: Blood and urine (U) samples were collected during the pre- and postoperative periods. Nineteen BMs were evaluated to assess kidney health in the first 48 h after LT. Classification and regression tree (CART) cross-validation identified key predictors to determine the best BM combination for predicting outcomes. RESULTS: Among 100 LT patients, 36 developed severe AKI, and 34 required KRT within the first postoperative week. Preoperative assessment of U neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) predicted the need for KRT with 75% accuracy. The combined assessment of U osmolality (OSM), U kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) within 48 h post-LT predicted severe AKI with 80% accuracy. U-OSM alone, measured within 48 h post-LT, had an accuracy of 83% for predicting KRT need, outperforming any BM combination. CONCLUSIONS: Combined BM analysis can accurately predict severe AKI and KRT needs in the perioperative period of LT. U-OSM alone proved to be an effective tool for monitoring the risk of severe AKI, available in most centers. Further studies are needed to assess its impact on AKI progression postoperatively.Registered at Clinical Trials (clinicaltrials.gov) in March 24th, 2014 by title 'Acute Kidney Injury Biomarkers: Diagnosis and Application in Pre-operative Period of Liver Transplantation (AKIB)' and identifier NCT02095431.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The analysis of indicators such as hospital readmission rates is crucial for improving the quality of services and management of hospital processes. OBJECTIVES: To identify the variables correlated with hospital readmission up to 30 days following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: Cross-sectional cohort study by REPLICCAR II database (N=3,392) from June 2017 to June 2019. Retrospectively, 150 patients were analyzed to identify factors associated with hospital readmission within 30 days post-CABG using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Analysis was conducted using software R, with a significance level of 0.05 and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Out of 3,392 patients, 150 (4,42%0 were readmitted within 30 days post-discharge from CABG primarily due to infections (mediastinitis, surgical wounds, and sepsis) accounting for 52 cases (34.66%). Other causes included surgical complications (14/150, 9.33%) and pneumonia (13/150, 8.66%). The multivariate regression model identified an intercept (OR: 1.098, p<0.00001), sleep apnea (OR: 1.117, p=0.0165), cardiac arrhythmia (OR: 1.040, p=0.0712), and intra-aortic balloon pump use (OR: 1.068, p=0.0021) as predictors of the outcome, with an AUC of 0.70. CONCLUSION: 4.42% of patients were readmitted post-CABG, mainly due to infections. Factors such as sleep apnea (OR: 1.117, p=0.0165), cardiac arrhythmia (OR: 1.040, p=0.0712), and intra-aortic balloon pump use (OR: 1.068, p=0.0021) were predictors of readmission, with moderate risk discrimination (AUC: 0.70).


FUNDAMENTO: A análise de indicadores como taxa de readmissão hospitalar é crucial para aprimorar a qualidade dos serviços e gestão em processos hospitalares. OBJETIVO: Identificar as variáveis correlacionadas a readmissão hospitalar até 30 dias após cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica (CRM). MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte transversal no banco de dados Registro Paulista de Cirurgia Cardiovascular II (REPLICCAR II)(N=3.392), de junho de 2017 a junho de 2019. Avaliaram-se retrospectivamente 150 pacientes para identificar os fatores correlacionados a readmissão hospitalar até 30 dias após-CRM via regressão logística univariada e multivariada. As análises foram realizadas no software R, com significância de 0,05 e intervalos de confiança de 95%. RESULTADOS: Cento e cinquenta pacientes foram readmitidos até 30 dias após a alta hospitalar de CRM (150/3.392, 4,42%) principalmente por infecções (mediastinite, ferida operatória e sepse) totalizando 52 casos (52/150, 34,66%), outras causas foram: complicações cirúrgicas (14/150, 9,33%) e pneumonia (13/150, 8,66%). Os preditores de readmissão identificados foram: O modelo de regressão multivariada apontou intercepto (OR: 1,098, p<0,00001), apneia do sono (OR: 1,117, p=0,0165), arritmia cardíaca (OR: 1,040, p=0,0712) e uso de balão intra-aórtico (OR: 1,068, p=0,0021) como preditores do desfecho, com uma AUC de 0,70. CONCLUSÃO: 4,42% dos pacientes foram readmitidos pós-CRM, principalmente por infecções. Fatores como apneia do sono (OR: 1,117, p=0,0165), arritmia cardíaca (OR: 1,040, p=0,0712) e uso de balão intra-aórtico (OR: 1,068, p=0,0021) foram preditores de readmissão, com uma discriminação de risco moderada (AUC: 0,70).
