Overview

May identify predictors of postoperative hyperglycemia in nondiabetic Southeast Asian cardiac surgery patients; leaves open need for validation and outcome trials.

Structured PICO

What are the predictors and outcomes of postoperative hyperglycemia in nondiabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery?

P
Population
1602 nondiabetic adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery, from 2008 to 2010 at the 2 main heart centers in Singapore.
I
Intervention
Postoperative hyperglycemia
C
Comparator
No postoperative hyperglycemia
O
Outcome
Predictors of postoperative hyperglycemia and associated perioperative outcomes (cardiac arrhythmias, acute kidney injury, ICU stay, hospitalization length)

Postoperative hyperglycemia in nondiabetic cardiac surgery patients is associated with increased risks of arrhythmias, acute kidney injury, and prolonged hospitalization, highlighting the need to manage modifiable risk factors like blood transfusion and aortic cross-clamp time.
