Abstract:Objective To study the influence factors and strategies in the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the patients of coronary artery disease combined with diabetes. Methods Diabetic patients undergoing CABG in our hospital were studied (n = 78). According to the prognosis result, the patients were divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group. The clinical data were carefully recorded. Preoperative HbA1c level was detected to evaluate the effect of medium-term preoperative diabetes control. Mean glucose level (mmol/L) and blood glucose coefficient of variation (mean/standard deviation) on the day of surgery, and on the day up till three days postoperatively were retrospectively obtained and calculated. The patients were observed after operation in order to evaluate the prognosis. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CABG outcomes. Furthermore, the ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnosis value of the related factors. Results Of the 78 patients 17 had poor effect after CABG and 2 died (2.56%). Logistic regression showed that the independent risk factors of CABG outcomes were preoperative HbA1c level and glucose coefficient of variation on the day of surgery. Moreover, the area under the ROC curve was 0.866 for preoperative HbA1c level, 0.752 for glucose coefficient of variation on the day of surgery and 0.905 for their combination. Conclusions Preoperative HbA1c level and glucose coefficient of variation on the day of surgery are the independent risk factors of CABG. Both of them can be used to forecast the outcomes of CABG.
