Correlation Analysis of Subclinical Hypothyroidism With its Treatment in Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) with its treatment in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A total of 1500 patients received CABG by the same surgical team in our hospital from 2010-06 to 2014-03 were retrospectively studied. According to thyroid function, the patients were divided into 2 groups SCH group,n=107 and Normal group, n=1393. With 14 propensity score matching, there were 104 patients in SCH group and 416 patients in Normal group enrolled in our research. The rates of intra-aortic balloom pumping (IABP) implantation and peri-operational blood transfusion, mechanical ventilation time, new onsets of stroke, myocardial infarction and atrial ifbrillation, malignant arrhythmia, acute kidney injury and in-hospital mortality were observed. The outcome of treatment was assessed by single- and multi-factor analysis. Results: Compared with Normal group, SCH group showed increased mechanical ventilation time (23.3±47.9) h vs (15.0±5.5) h, P12 h (89.4% vs 78.8%),P12 h (OR=2.363, 95% CI 1.183-4.516) and IABP implantation (OR=6.126, 95% CI 1.190-31.537). The in-hospital death and other events were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Conclusion: Our research indicated that SCH was related to mechanical ventilation time and IABP implantation in patients after CABG.
