Factor XIII activity in patients requiring surgical re-exploration for bleeding after elective cardiac surgery - A prospective case control study
JOURNAL OF CRITICAL CARE(2020)
摘要
Purpose: Surgical re-exploration due to postoperative bleeding is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to assess a potential association between the level of postoperative FXIII activity and need for re-exploration due to bleeding in patients undergoing cardiothoradc surgery. Materials and methods: In our prospective single center observational cohort study, we enrolled patients who underwent elective cardiothoracic surgery. Patients who required re-exploration (RE group) were matched to patients from the study population (non-RE group). Results: The study included 64 patients, out of a cohort of 678 patients, of whom 32 required surgical reexploration due to bleeding within the first 24 h. Between patients of the RE and non-RE group, a significantly reduced FXIII activity was observed postoperatively (59.0 vs 71.1; p = .014). Multivariable analysis revealed reduced FXIII activity (p= .048) as a parameter independently associated with surgical re-exploration. Further, reduced FXIII activity (p = .037) and surgical re-exploration (p=.01) were significantly associated with increased 30 day mortality. In multivariable analysis re-exploration was independently associated with increased risk of 30 day mortality (p = .004, HR 9.68). Conclusions: Reduced postoperative FXIII activity may be associated with the need for surgical re-exploration. Postoperative assessment of FXIII activity should therefore be considered in patients undergoing elective cardiothoracic surgery. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
