In low-risk patients undergoing isolated CABG, diabetes mellitus is an independent predictor of early readmission within 30 days.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Diabetes may flag low-risk CABG patients for closer post-discharge monitoring; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce readmissions.
Sun et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Low-risk patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=2,157). Diabetes mellitus vs. Absence of diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Readmission within 30 days after surgery (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.08-2.42, p=0.02). Preoperative diabetes mellitus was identified as the only independent predictor of early 30-day readmission in low-risk patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (OR 1.59).
