Preoperative C-Reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio Is Associated With Incremental Prognostic Information Beyond European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II After Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Preoperative CAR was independently associated with both in-hospital and 1-year mortality after isolated CABG and provided incremental prognostic information beyond EuroSCORE II in the present cohort.

Study context

Population
Consecutive adults undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), single-centre tertiary hospital, January 1, 2022 to December 1, 2024, with complete 1-year follow-up
Participants
618 adults
Exposure
Preoperative inflammatory biomarkers (CAR, SII, SIRI, PIV, HALP score) for predicting mortality, and incremental value beyond EuroSCORE II
Outcome
ICU mortality and 1-year all-cause mortality
Methodological detailssingle-centre, consecutive patients
  • Single-centre
  • Consecutive patients

Main finding
