Negative Correlation Between Body Mass Index and Chest Tube Out-put After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Abstract
Introduction: The
obvious threat of obesity to human life is well-known, but some contradictory
outcomes have been encountered during previous medical research. Interestingly,
obesity was recognized as a protective factor for some specific obesity-related
situations. We aimed to correlate increased body mass index (BMI) and chest
tube out-put after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Patients and Methods:
We retrospectively collected data of 421 patients who underwent isolated CABG
surgery between dates of December 2015 and December 2016. Obtained BMI values
were grouped into: underweight (< 20 kg/m2 ), normal weight (20-25 kg/m2 ),
overweight (25-30 kg/m2 ), obese (30-35 kg/m2 ), and severely obese (> 35 kg/m2
) subclasses. The postoperative chest tube output volume corresponded drainage
at first 24 hours after the CABG surgery.
Results: The mean age
was 61.6 (± 1.06) years. Female to male ratio was found 40, 9/59, 6 (n=
170/251). The patient population was divided into 2 groups as BMI below and
above 30 kg/m2 to approximately evaluate the relation between BMI and chest
tube out-put. Overall, 193 patients were in the non-obese group, and 136
patients were in the obese group. The mean drainage amounts of non-obese and
obese groups were 630 ± 360 and 463 ± 303 mL, respectively. We ran independent
t-test to evaluate the relationship between BMI and chest tube out-put. It was
statistically significant. The relationship between drainage and five different
BMI subgroups was evaluated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically
significant chest tube output difference between the normal and obese groups as
well as the severely obese group.
Conclusion: BMI is negatively correlated with bleeding after CABG surgery and should be considered in future bleeding prediction systems.
