Why the study?

What preoperative and perioperative features are associated with surgical-site infections after coronary artery bypass surgery?

Population

884 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in 1992 and 1993 at a university hospital

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

1 month after discharge

Authors

SVSailaritta VuorisaloUniversity of Helsinki KHKari HaukipuroOulu University Hospital RPRisto PokelaOulu University Hospital

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Supports risk stratification by extreme BMI, female sex, and COPD in CABG; leaves open prospective validation and targeted interventions.

Structured PICO

What preoperative and perioperative features are associated with surgical-site infections after coronary artery bypass surgery?

Population

884 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in 1992 and 1993 at a university hospital

Outcome

Surgical-site infection (SSI) at the donor site or in the chest area recorded before discharge or within a 1-month surveillance period after dischargesafety

Extreme BMI, female gender, and COPD are significant independent predictors of surgical-site infections following coronary artery bypass grafting.
