Transfusion after cardiac surgery is very common. This rate varies between institutions and has remained high despite established transfusion guidelines. We analyzed our database of patients who underwent isolated CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) to determine the predictive factors of homologous transfusion and associated postoperative morbidity, mortality and resource utilization. All 14,152 patients who underwent first-time isolated CABG, with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) who had postoperative homologous transfusion between February 2002 and March 2008 in Tehran Heart Center, were evaluated retrospectively. Overall, 16.5% of patients received transfusion. Transfused patients demonstrated a significantly higher incidence of postoperative complications (cardiac, infectious, ischemic, reoperation) and mortality (p<0.001). Homologous blood transfusion effect on mortality, morbidity and resource utilization. By Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for confounders: Homologous blood transfusion effect on Mortality (30-days) (OR=3.976, p<0.0001), Prolonged ventilation hours (OR=4.755, p<0.0001), Total ICU hours (β =14.599, p<0.0001), Hospital length of stay (β =1.141, p<0.0001), Post surgery length of stay (β =0.955, p<0.0001). We conclude that the isolated CABG patients receiving blood transfusion have significantly higher mortality, morbidity and resource utilization. Homologous blood transfusion is an independent factor of increased resource utilization, morbidity and mortality.

Anemia is an indisputable finding in patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) that can occur any time preoperatively. In presence of severe coronary artery disease, anemia can dramatically affect surgical outcomes. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the effect of low preoperative hemoglobin (Hgb) on postoperative outcome in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In all, 4432 patients who had undergone isolated CABG at Tehran Heart Center over the 2-year period from March 2006 to February 2008 were studied. All medical records of the aforementioned patients were derived from our hospital surgery data bank. After adjustment for confounders, the association of different preoperative levels of Hgb with risk of cardiac, pulmonary, infectious, and ischemic complications, and also with prolonged ventilation and resource utilization, were assessed in a multivariable model. After adjustment for confounders that may affect mortality and morbidities, we found that cardiac, infectious, ischemic, and pulmonary complications, as well as postoperative mortality, were significantly higher in anemic patients compared to those with normal Hgb levels. In addition, total ventilation time, total intensive care unit hour stay (ICU), hospital length of stay (HLOS), and postsurgery length of stay (PLOS) were significantly longer in anemic patients. We concluded that isolated CABG patients with preoperative anemia have significantly higher mortality and morbidity, and use more health care resources. Preoperative anemia is an independent variable for increased resource utilization, morbidity, and mortality.
