Abstract
Background: Recent studies have indicated that patients, both with and without diabetes with an increased HbA1c, have a higher rate of adverse outcomes following cardiac surgeries. Our study is focused on to evaluate the prognostic impact of admission value of HbA1c in non?diabetic patients for postoperative renal failure and infections. Materials and Methods: Plasma HbA1c levels were collected from 200 consecutive nondiabetic patients who got admitted for elective off pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure over a 2?year period under two groups, Group A whose HbA1c was < 6% at admission and Group B whose HbA1c was ?6% and ?6.4% at admission. After surgery, patients were followed up to see if they have got infection or renal failure as postoperative complication. Student抯 unpaired t test was used to test the significance of difference between the quantitative variables, Yate抯 and Fisher抯 chi square tests were used for qualitative variables. Results: We found early postoperative renal failure in 14 (3/96 in Group A and 11/104 in Group B) out of 200 patients (7%) and infection in 21 (8/96 in Group A and 13/104 in Group B) out of 200 patients (10.5%). After data analysis, it was noted that there is a positive correlation between HbA1c and postoperative renal failure (P = 0.0213) whereas no association was found between HbA1c and postoperative infections (P = 0.175) in patients undergoing off?pump CABG surgery. Conclusion: In patients without diabetes, a plasma HbA1c ?6% was a significant independent predictor for early postoperative renal failure.
