ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery and related risk factors in 4 878 patients.Methods:The information from patients who underwent cardiac surgery through March 2015 to October 2015 was collected retrospectively from the electronic database of Beijing Anzhen Hospital. A total of 4 878 patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred within 7 days after cardiac surgery. The incidence of AKI was calculated, and the AKI incidence in different types of cardiac surgeries were compared. Clinical data such as baseline clinical information, operation information, comorbidity, hospital stay time, life ability score in discharge from the hospital, and so on, were compared between AKI group and the non-AKI group using univariate analysis. Risk factors for AKI following cardiac surgery were analyzed using the binary multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 933 patients suffered from AKI (19.1%) following cardiac surgery. The time of stay in the hospital was longer in AKI group than that in the non-AKI group [(14.4±8.9) vs (13.7±7.7) d, P<0.05)]. The incidence of AKI in different types of cardiac surgeries varied significantly ( P<0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that male, diabetes, hypertension, the elevated basic serum creatinine, cardiac dysfunction (NYHA grade≥Ⅲ), cardiopulmonary bypass, a combination of operations≥3, the rethoracotomy exploration and hemostasia, and using an invasive ventilator for over 96 hours were the independent risk factors for the AKI following cardiac surgery (all P<0.05), and the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) were 1.81(1.46-2.24), 1.29(1.03-1.62), 5.85(4.73-7.22), 1.81(1.36-2.40), 4.49(3.60-5.60), 1.84(1.49-2.27), 23.24(18.25-29.59), 2.34(1.45-3.77) and 1.94(1.09-3.43) respectively. Conclusions:The incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital is 19.1%. AKI following cardiac surgery prolongs the time of stay in the hospital. Independent risk factors for AKI following cardiac surgery are multiple, and one of the most critical factors is a combination of operations≥3.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the consistency and accuracy of using 2 criteria for decision making of aspirin use for the primary prevention of ischemic cardiovascular disease (ISCVD) and explore the current status and related factors of aspirin use for the primary prevention of ISCVD in Chinese outpatients.@*Methods@#This cross-sectional study enrolled 3 018 outpatients with hypertension, diabetes, or hypercholesterolemia, who visited the General Practice (GP) clinics of Anzhen hospital in Beijing from September to December 2015 were enrolled in. The information of risk factors for ISCVD and use of aspirin was collected. Both quantitative and qualitative criteria were used to make the decision of aspirin use for primary prevention of ISCVD in this patient cohort. Quantitative criteria were derived from the 2011 Chinese guideline of cardiovascular disease prevention: aspirin use for primary cardiovascular disease prevention in population with risk of ISCVD in the next 10 years≥10%. Qualitative criteria were derived from the Chinese expert consensus on the aspirin use issued in 2013: aspirin should be given for the purpose of primary ISCVD in population with≥3 risk factors:(1) men aged ≥50 years or postmenopausal women; (2) hypertensive subjects with blood pressure ≤150/90 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa);(3) diabetes; (4) hypocholesteremia; (5) obesity with body mass index (BMI)≥28 kg/m2; (6) Smokers;(7) with familiar premature ISCVD history (male<55 years, female<65 years). Demographic data of participants were obtained by questionnaire, on-site measurements or screening previous medical records.@*Results@#67.1% participants (n=2 024) should be recommended to take aspirin as primary prevention medication using 10-year risk of ISCVD≥10% as the criteria, and 77.9% participants (n=2 350) should be recommended to take aspirin as primary prevention medication using number of risk factors≥3 as the criteria. With 10-year risk of ISCVD≥10% as the gold standard and risk factors≥3 as the evaluation criteria, the sensitivity was 97%, specificity was 61%, the consistency rate was 85%, Kappa value was 0.628 (U=35.824, P<0.001) , indicating that the consistency of the 2 criteria was good. The percentage of real-world aspirin use for primary prevention of ISCVD in this cohort was significantly higher for participants evaluated with the 10-year risk of ISCVD≥10% than that evaluated with 3 risk factors (53.1% vs. 49.2%, χ2=6.523, P=0.011). 12.7% participants with 10-year risk of ISCVD<10% and 6.6% participants with<3 risk factors took aspirin for the primary prevention of ISCVD in this cohort. Age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia were significantly related to the aspirin use in this cohort, relative ORs were 1.047 (95%CI 1.035-1.060) , 1.969 (95%CI 1.403-2.762) , 2.065 (95%CI 1.623-3.629) , 3.493 (95%CI 2.726-4.475, and 1.344 (95%CI 1.109-1.628) , respectively. Obesity and familial history of premature ISCVD were not related to the aspirin use, relative ORs were 1.137 (95%CI 0.828-1.562) and 0.986 (95%CI 0.767-1.266) .@*Conclusions@#The consistency of the 2 criteria for decision making of aspirin use for the primary prevention of ISCVD is good and about 50% participants who should be recommended to the use of aspirin for the primary prevention of ISCVD took the aspirin in the real-world scenario. The use of aspirin as primary prevention strategy for ISCVD in the real-world scenario is related to age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and surgical effectiveness of the primary retroperitoneal teratoma in infants.Methods The records of 36 patients were retrospectively reviewed who were diagnosed as primary retroperitoneal teratoma and treated at the Department of Pediatric Oncology,Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between August 2015 and August 2017.The related data were collected,including gender,age,operation time,operational bleeding and tumor weight.All patients took the ultrasound,computed tomography (CT) before surgery,alpha-fetal protein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) were detected during peri-operation period.All cases were classified into 0 to Ⅲ grades according to the Norris classification (27 patients of 0 grade,1 patient of Ⅰ grade,4 patients of Ⅱ grade,4 patients of Ⅲ grade).Results There were 9 males and 27 females in the study.All patients were treated surgically at the age of 11.4 months (7 days-7 years) on the average;the mean weight of incised tumor was 736.47 g (7.90-2 355.00 g);operation time was 2.88 hours (1.08-7.06 hours);the amount of bleeding during operation was 29.11 mL (2-150 mL).All patients received follow-ups for 6.56 months (9 days-23 months) on the average.Radiographs found that tumors in 25 patients (69.4％) were located in the left side of the abdominal cavity,and the rest of them were located in the right side.In addition,tumors in 30 patients (83.3 ％) were big enough to pass across the mid-line of the body.Average pre-operation AFP was 7 593.1 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP was 1 339.5 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the mature group was 5 439.6 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP of the mature group was 1 130.6 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the immature group [11 182.3 μg/L(17.4-80 000.0 μg/L)] was higher than that of the mature group,and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.006).On the final follow-up,AFP was mean 38.3 μg/L (1.4-352.4 μg/L);among them,AFP of the mature group was mean 14.3 μg/L (1.4-43.3 μg/L),the immature group was 78.4 μg/L(1.7-325.4 μ g/L),and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.028);AFP of 4 patients in the immature group who underwent chemotherapy was 54.9 μg/L (2.6-116.6 μg/L)on the average,lower than those of post-operation AFP of 265.2 μg/L (206.8-384.1 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.042).All patients were treated surgically,and 3 cases of them received laparoscope technique;no significant relationship was proved between time of surgery and the tumor weight,location,and Norris classification(all P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of the surgical complications was 42.1％,such as tumor rupture (6 patients),vascular injury (5 patients),digestive tract damage (4 patients) and incomplete incision (1 patient).There was no death case in the serials.Conclusions Primary retroperitoneal teratoma can be completely incised.However,the complications of surgery could appear in many cases.As a predictive index for the recurrence retroperitoneal teratoma,AFP can be diminished by chemotherapy following the surgery.
