RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cardiac surgery can be complicated by postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), which is characterized by impaired memory function and intellectual ability. The systemic inflammatory response that is induced by major surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass may play an important role in the etiology of POCD. Prophylactic corticosteroids to attenuate the inflammatory response may therefore reduce the risk of POCD. The authors investigated the effect of intraoperative high-dose dexamethasone on the incidence of POCD at 1 month and 12 months after cardiac surgery. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is a preplanned substudy of the DExamethasone for Cardiac Surgery trial. A total of 291 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited in three hospitals and randomized to receive dexamethasone 1 mg/kg (n = 145) or placebo (n = 146). The main outcome measures were incidence of POCD at 1- and 12-month follow-up, defined as a decline in neuropsychological test performance beyond natural variability, as measured in a control group. RESULTS: At 1-month follow-up, 19 of 140 patients in the dexamethasone group (13.6%) and 10 of 138 patients in the placebo group (7.2%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for POCD (relative risk, 1.87; 95% CI, 0.90 to 3.88; P = 0.09). At 12-month follow-up, 8 of 115 patients in the dexamethasone group (7.0%) and 4 of 114 patients (3.5%) in the placebo group had POCD (relative risk, 1.98; 95% CI, 0.61 to 6.40; P = 0.24). CONCLUSION: Intraoperative high-dose dexamethasone did not reduce the risk of POCD after cardiac surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Delirium is common after cardiac surgery and may be partly related to the systemic inflammatory response triggered by the surgery and the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We hypothesized that intraoperative administration of high-dose dexamethasone, a drug with potent anti-inflammatory effects, would reduce the incidence of delirium at any time point during the first 4 postoperative days after cardiac surgery. METHODS: This was a single-center substudy within a larger, multicenter placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, the Dexamethasone for Cardiac Surgery (DECS) trial that randomized patients ≥18 years, undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, to receive, in a double-blind fashion, either dexamethasone 1 mg/kg or placebo at the induction of anesthesia. Over the first 4 postoperative days, we compared between groups the incidence of delirium (based on the Confusion Assessment Method adapted for the intensive care unit, or after intensive care unit discharge, by the Confusion Assessment Method, accompanied by chart review), restraint use, and administered haloperidol, benzodiazepines, and opioids. Data were analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle. The proportion of patients with delirium in the dexamethasone versus the placebo group was compared using the odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The proportion also was compared using logistic regression to adjust for common baseline variables that might confound the presence of delirium between the 2 groups. RESULTS: Of 768 eligible patients, 737 subjects (96.0%) had complete data. The incidence of delirium was similar between the dexamethasone (14.2%) and placebo (14.9%) groups (crude OR = 0.95, 95% CI, 0.63-1.43; adjusted OR = 0.85, 95% CI, 0.55-1.31). Among patients who developed delirium, the median (interquartile range) duration of delirium was similar between the dexamethasone and placebo groups (2 [1-3] vs 2 [1-2] days, respectively, P = 0.45; WMWodds 0.98, 95% CI, 0.83-1.17). Restraint use and the administration of haloperidol, benzodiazepines, and opioids were also similar between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: The intraoperative administration of dexamethasone did not reduce the incidence or duration of delirium in the first 4 days after cardiac surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention are both associated with cognitive decline, but limited data are available on long-term outcomes. This study compared long-term cognitive outcomes between patients managed with percutaneous coronary intervention and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: A multicenter trial in the Netherlands randomized 280 patients to percutaneous coronary intervention or off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Cognitive performance 7.5 years after randomization was assessed through a battery of 9 neuropsychologic tests and summarized into a combined Z-score. RESULTS: After 7.5 years, cognitive assessment could be performed in 81% of the 249 surviving patients. Better cognitive performance was observed in the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting group (combined Z-score 0.11 for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting versus -0.17 for percutaneous coronary intervention; difference 0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.08 to 0.47, p < 0.01). However, this difference became nonsignificant (Z-score difference 0.14, 95% confidence interval -0.01 to 0.29, p = 0.08) after multivariable adjustment for potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS: At 7.5 years follow-up, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting patients had a similar or perhaps even better cognitive performance compared with percutaneous coronary intervention patients.
