ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Novel cardiac biomarkers including soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2, galectin-3, and the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide may be associated with long-term adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. We sought to measure the association between cardiac biomarker levels and 1-year hospital readmission or mortality.METHODS:
Plasma biomarkers from 1,047 patients discharged alive after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery from 8 medical centers were measured in a cohort from the Northern New England Cardiovascular Disease Study Group between 2004 and 2007. We evaluated the association between preoperative and postoperative biomarkers and 1-year readmission or mortality using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards modeling, adjusting for covariates used in The Society of Thoracic Surgeons 30-day readmission model.RESULTS:
The median follow-up time was 365 days. After adjustment for established risk factors, above-median levels of postoperative galectin-3 (median 10.35 ng/mL; hazard ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.08 to 1.80; p = 0.010) and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (median = 15.21 ng/mL, hazard ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.07 to 1.87; p = 0.014) were each significantly associated with 1-year readmission or mortality.CONCLUSIONS:
In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, novel cardiac biomarkers were associated with readmission or mortality independent of established risk factors. Measurement of these biomarkers may improve our ability to identify patients at highest risk for readmission or mortality before discharge. This will also allow resource allocation accordingly, while implementing strategies for personalized medicine based on the biomarker profile of the patient.
