Structured PICO

Population

843 Yemeni patients aged > 20 years with cardiovascular diseases who underwent cardiac surgery in selected Indian hospitals between January 2016 and December 2023. Mean age 52.6 years, 67% male.

Intervention

Cardiac surgery (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [54%], valve replacement [29%], combined surgeries [17%])

Outcome

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics, and perioperative outcomes (complication rate, in-hospital mortality rate, average hospital stay, ICU stay, satisfaction level)

This study describes the clinical profile and favorable perioperative outcomes of Yemeni patients undergoing cardiac surgery in India, with CABG being the most common procedure.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiac surgery has become a routine practice for many heart conditions. Objective: To highlight on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the study patients underwent cardiac surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational study included Yemeni patients who underwent cardiac surgery in selected Indian hospitals between January 2016 and December 2023. Inclusion criteria were patients aged > 20 years underwent cardiac surgeries. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 17. Descriptive statistics were presented as means ± standard deviations for continuous variables and frequencies with percentages for categorical variables. Results: The study sample included 843 Yemeni patients with CVD diseases treated in India between January 2016 and December 2023. They were (67%) males and (33%) females and their mean age was 52.6 years (standard deviation SD = ± 13). The patients of the age group 51 – 60 years were predominant with (33.6%) followed by the age group > 60 years old with (30.5%). Hypertension was (57.5%) and diabetes mellitus was (45.1%). Dyslipidemia found in (30%) patients, smoking history in (22%) and prior myocardial infarction in (14%). We found the predominance of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgeries, which represented (54%), followed by valve replacement (29%) and combined surgeries with (17%). The perioperative outcomes (Complication Rate) 9.5%, in-hospital mortality rate: 2.1%, average hospital stay: 9.2 ± 2.5 days and intensive care unit stay (ICU Stay): 3.8 ± 1.2 days. Their satisfaction level was (52%) excellent, followed by good with (37%). Conclusion: Yemen is a country with the highest regional burden of CVDs. Effective preventative strategies and education programs are crucial in to reduce the risk of CVD morbidity.
