About this study

Official title: Risk Factors, Hepatic Dysfunction, and Open-heart Surgery

In a prospective observational study during the six-month duration, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and valve repair surgery (mitral, mitral, and aortic valve and/or tricuspid valve) patients were investigated for hepatic dysfunction. All patients were divided into two groups as with or without hyperbilirubinemia, and this was defined by the occurrence of a plasma total bilirubin concentration of more than 34 µmol/L (2 mg/dL) in any measurement during the postoperative period. Our goal was to determine the risk factors associated with hepatic dysfunction in patients undergoing open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The collected parameters include; alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBIL), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and albumin preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 3 and 7. Possible preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risk factors were investigated. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify the risk factors for postoperative hyperbilirubinemia.

Read the detailed description

There are a series of pathophysiological changes in patients undergoing open-heart surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) that causes liver hypoperfusion, centrilobular sinusoid ischemia, and subsequent reperfusion injuries, hemolysis, or systemic inflammatory response. These events may eventually lead to various forms of hepatic dysfunction in patients during the postoperative period after open-heart surgeries. An increased incidence of liver function test abnormalities were reported, and the rates vary between 10 % and 40%. The occurrence of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia is crucial in increased morbidity and mortality after open-heart surgery with CPB. There are several reports of the possible risk factors that are associated with hepatic dysfunction. In previous studies, the incidence of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia was between the range of 20% up to 51% in open-heart surgeries with CPB. The causes of this higher incidence were related to the presence of various possible risk factors, and these include; valvular heart disease and related low cardiac output states, and low ejection fraction. Other important risk factors for postoperative hepatic dysfunction after open-heart surgery with CPB were longer operative time and a larger volume of blood transfusion. However, CPB itself is not a significant constituent in the postoperative development of hyperbilirubinemia. Splanchnic ischemia before or during operation and in the postoperative period appears to be an essential cause. Other risk factors that were identified as possible risk factors for postoperative hepatic dysfunction. We can list these factors as; poor preoperative heart function, hemodynamic instability, emergency surgery, and preoperative liver dysfunction. Our goal was to determine the possible risk factors associated with hepatic dysfunction in patients undergoing open-heart surgery with CPB.

What participants receive

  • Open-Heart Surgery for nine months durationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Type of open-heart surgical operation (coronary artery bypass graft operation, mitral valve, aortic valve or multiple valvular surgeries), Hyperbilirubinemia, Hepatic function related tests

    In a single group of patients including 340 patients undergoing open-heart surgery during a period of nine months, the collected parameters include; alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBIL), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and albumin preoperatively and on postoperative days of 1, 3 and 7. All patients were divided into two groups as with or without hyperbilirubinemia, and this was defined by the occurrence of a plasma total bilirubin concentration of more than 34 µmol/L (2 mg/dL) in any measurement during the postoperative period. For each diagnostic test, a comparison within the group for different time points was statistically evaluated by analysis of variance tests.

  • Relation between possible risk factors and hyperbilirubinemiaOther

    Possible preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risk factors were investigated. The relations between hyperbilirubinemia and possible risk factors are sought by the use of the statistical analysis methods including logistic regression analysis.

  • Follow-up periodOther

    All patients were investigated for a period of ten days postoperatively. During this period, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, in-hospital stay, and all adverse events were recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperbilirubinemia and Hepatic Impairment, run by Kartal Kosuyolu Yuksek Ihtisas Education and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of serum total bilirubin values on postoperative day 1. (time frame: Preoperative one day before surgery and postoperative day 1.). The study lists 28 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04271098, which also lists 11 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Feb 2020.
