Evaluation of effort tolerance in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation after cardiac surgery

Introduction: Complex cardiac rehabilitation is a basic procedure of therapeutic treatment for patients after cardiac surgeries. The course of operations depends on many factors. The aim of this article is to investigate connections between type 2 diabetes and results of 6-minute walk test among patients after cardiac surgery. Materials and methods: This research was conducted among 111 patients who had cardiac surgery. Those patients were qualified to stay at a stationary cardiac rehabilitation facility. They were divided into two groups: patients with and without diabetes. In the analysis, patients’ medical data and 6-minute walk test results before and after complex rehabilitation were taken into consideration. Results: On the basis of our analysis it was found that patients who have diabetes achieve worse results of 6-minute walk test before (OR=0.995; p=0.005) and after (OR=0.994, p=0.006) complex cardiac rehabilitation in comparison with patients without diabetes. Conclusions: Type 2 diabetes has impact on physical effort tolerance among patients after cardiac surgery. Despite improvement of 6-minute walk test results thanks to complex cardiac rehabilitation, patients with type 2 diabetes walked shorter distance than patients without diabetes

Higher perfusion pressure and pump flow during cardiopulmonary bypass are beneficial for kidney function–a single-centre prospective study

Background: Kidneys play an essential role in the circulatory system, regulating blood pressure and intravascular volume. They are also set on maintaining an adequate filtration pressure in the glomerulus. During the CPB, a decrease in systemic blood pressure and hemoglobin concentration may lead to renal ischemia and subsequent acute kidney injury.Methods: One hundred nine adult patients were prospectively enrolled in this study. The intervention in this study was increasing the flow of the CPB pump to reach the target MAP of > 90 mmHg during the procedure. The control group had a standard pump flow of 2.4 L/min/m2.Results: Standard pump flow of 2.4 L/min/m2 resulted in mean MAP < 90 mmHg during the CPB in most patients in the control group. Maintaining a higher MAP during CPB in this study population did not affect CSA-AKI incidence. However, it increased the intraoperative and postoperative diuresis and decreased renin release associated with CPB. Higher MAP during the CPB did not increase the incidence of cerebrovascular complications after the operation; patients in the highest MAP group had the lowest incidence of postoperative delirium, but the result did not obtain statistical significance.Conclusion: Maintaining MAP > 90 mmHg during the CPB positively impacts intraoperative and postoperative kidney function. It significantly reduces renal hypoperfusion during the procedure compared to MAP < 70 mmHg. MAP > 90 mmHg is safe for the central nervous system, and preliminary results suggest that it may have a beneficial impact on the incidence of postoperative delirium

The IDENTIFY study: the investigation and detection of urological neoplasia in patients referred with suspected urinary tract cancer - a multicentre observational study

Objective To evaluate the contemporary prevalence of urinary tract cancer (bladder cancer, upper tract urothelial cancer [UTUC] and renal cancer) in patients referred to secondary care with haematuria, adjusted for established patient risk markers and geographical variation. Patients and Methods This was an international multicentre prospective observational study. We included patients aged ≥16 years, referred to secondary care with suspected urinary tract cancer. Patients with a known or previous urological malignancy were excluded. We estimated the prevalence of bladder cancer, UTUC, renal cancer and prostate cancer; stratified by age, type of haematuria, sex, and smoking. We used a multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression to adjust cancer prevalence for age, type of haematuria, sex, smoking, hospitals, and countries. Results Of the 11 059 patients assessed for eligibility, 10 896 were included from 110 hospitals across 26 countries. The overall adjusted cancer prevalence (n = 2257) was 28.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 22.3–34.1), bladder cancer (n = 1951) 24.7% (95% CI 19.1–30.2), UTUC (n = 128) 1.14% (95% CI 0.77–1.52), renal cancer (n = 107) 1.05% (95% CI 0.80–1.29), and prostate cancer (n = 124) 1.75% (95% CI 1.32–2.18). The odds ratios for patient risk markers in the model for all cancers were: age 1.04 (95% CI 1.03–1.05; P < 0.001), visible haematuria 3.47 (95% CI 2.90–4.15; P < 0.001), male sex 1.30 (95% CI 1.14–1.50; P < 0.001), and smoking 2.70 (95% CI 2.30–3.18; P < 0.001). Conclusions A better understanding of cancer prevalence across an international population is required to inform clinical guidelines. We are the first to report urinary tract cancer prevalence across an international population in patients referred to secondary care, adjusted for patient risk markers and geographical variation. Bladder cancer was the most prevalent disease. Visible haematuria was the strongest predictor for urinary tract cancer

Cardiac Complications Following Cardiac Surgery Procedures

Background: Elderly patients and those with multiple concomitant disorders are nowadays qualified for cardiac surgery procedures, which is related to higher incidence of the postoperative complications. Aim: The aim of this study was a retrospective analysis of the perioperative factors potentially contributing to occurrence of cardiac incidents after cardiac surgery procedures. Methods: Data of 552 patients of the cardiac surgery clinic were collected and analyzed. Data concerning medical history, previous treatment, laboratory results, additional tests results, operation and hospitalization period were examined. Results: In the study population of 552 patients, cardiac complications were observed in 49.5% of them. Among cardiac complications, the most frequent were supraventricular tachycardia (30.1%) and atrial fibrillation (27.4%). Postoperative bradycardia occurred in 5.25% patients, half of whom required temporary cardiac pacing. Conclusions: The risk of incidence of cardiac complications after cardiac surgery procedures depends mostly on patient&rsquo;s age, EuroSCORE Logistic (ESL) score, left ventricular ejection fraction, myocardial hypertrophy, presence of paroxysmal AF and coincidence of nephrological complications. The necessity of performing more than one heart defibrillation after removing aortic cross-clamp favors early postoperative bradycardia. Considering the outcomes of this study, continuing reperfusion at least until 1/3 of the aortic cross-clamp time brings no additional benefits to the patients

The Utility of Novel Kidney Injury Biomarkers in Early Detection of CSA-AKI

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is one of the most common complications of cardiac surgery procedures. In this study, the authors attempt to provide new data regarding the application of novel kidney injury biomarkers in the early diagnostics of CSA-AKI. 128 adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery procedures with the use of cardiopulmonary by-pass (CPB) were enrolled in this study. Novel kidney injury biomarkers were marked in the plasma and urine 6 h after weaning from the CPB. A significant difference in the postoperative biomarkers&rsquo; concentration between the AKI and no-AKI group was found, regarding plasma IL-8, plasma TNF-&alpha; and urine NGAL, normalized for creatinine excretion (NGAL/Cr). These were also independent predictors of CSA-AKI. An independent risk factor for CSA-AKI proved to be preoperative CKD. Plasma IL-8 and TNF-&alpha;, as well as urine NGAL/Cr, are independent early indicators of CSA-AKI and pose a promising alternative for creatinine measurements. The cut-off points for these biomarkers proposed in this investigation should be confronted with more data and revised to achieve a suitable diagnostic value

Developing a Diagnostic Multivariable Prediction Model for Urinary Tract Cancer in Patients Referred with Haematuria: Results from the IDENTIFY Collaborative Study

377siBackground: Patient factors associated with urinary tract cancer can be used to risk stratify patients referred with haematuria, prioritising those with a higher risk of cancer for prompt investigation. Objective: To develop a prediction model for urinary tract cancer in patients referred with haematuria. Design, setting, and participants: A prospective observational study was conducted in 10 282 patients from 110 hospitals across 26 countries, aged ≥16 yr and referred to secondary care with haematuria. Patients with a known or previous urological malignancy were excluded. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The primary outcomes were the presence or absence of urinary tract cancer (bladder cancer, upper tract urothelial cancer [UTUC], and renal cancer). Mixed-effect multivariable logistic regression was performed with site and country as random effects and clinically important patient-level candidate predictors, chosen a priori, as fixed effects. Predictors were selected primarily using clinical reasoning, in addition to backward stepwise selection. Calibration and discrimination were calculated, and bootstrap validation was performed to calculate optimism. Results and limitations: The unadjusted prevalence was 17.2% (n = 1763) for bladder cancer, 1.20% (n = 123) for UTUC, and 1.00% (n = 103) for renal cancer. The final model included predictors of increased risk (visible haematuria, age, smoking history, male sex, and family history) and reduced risk (previous haematuria investigations, urinary tract infection, dysuria/suprapubic pain, anticoagulation, catheter use, and previous pelvic radiotherapy). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the final model was 0.86 (95% confidence interval 0.85-0.87). The model is limited to patients without previous urological malignancy. Conclusions: This cancer prediction model is the first to consider established and novel urinary tract cancer diagnostic markers. It can be used in secondary care for risk stratifying patients and aid the clinician's decision-making process in prioritising patients for investigation. Patient summary: We have developed a tool that uses a person's characteristics to determine the risk of cancer if that person develops blood in the urine (haematuria). This can be used to help prioritise patients for further investigation.noneopenKhadhouri, Sinan; Gallagher, Kevin M.; MacKenzie, Kenneth R.; Shah, Taimur T.; Gao, Chuanyu; Moore, Sacha; Zimmermann, Eleanor F.;
