Key result
South Asian ethnicity was associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events after CABG compared to the general population (34.7% vs 37.8%; HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.83-0.99; P=0.04).
Why the study?
Does South Asian ethnicity impact long-term major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients undergoing isolated CABG compared to the general population?

Hazard Ratio: 0.91 (95% CI 0.83–0.99)
Absolute Event Rate: 34.7% vs 37.8%
p-value: p=0.04
Contrary to prior hypotheses, South Asian ethnicity is associated with a lower risk of long-term major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events and mortality after CABG compared to the general population.

South Asian ethnicity was associated with lower post-CABG MACCE; challenges prior hypotheses of inferior outcomes yet remains hypothesis-generating.
Deb et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) (n=83,850). South Asian ethnicity vs. General population was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or coronary reintervention) (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.99, p=0.04). South Asian ethnicity was associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events after CABG compared to the general population (34.7% vs 37.8%; HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.83-0.99; P=0.04).
