Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with 30-day mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) among diabetic patients, and to compare them with risk factors among nondiabetics. A subanalysis of a prospective national cohort study was performed which included patients who underwent CABG in 14 medical centers in Israel during 1994. Data including patient demographic and historical information, comorbidity, and cardiac catheterization results were collected by trained nurses. Data were derived from direct patient interviews, charts, catheterization reports, surgical reports, and national vital records. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with a 30-day mortality in diabetic and nondiabetic patient populations. The results showed that crude mortality was 5.0% among diabetic patients (n = 1,034) and 2.5% among nondiabetics (n = 3,350; p
