The Role and Dynamics of Liver Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is the evaluation of the occurrence and effect of hepatic dysfunction on outcome following cardiac surgery, as well as the monitoring of changes in liver haemodynamics in the early postoperative period.

Detailed Description
Prospective, consecutive study of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Heart and Vascular Center, Semmelweis University, Budapest.
Registered data:
-
Anamnestic and demographic data
-
Liver dysfunction prior surgery, etiology of liver dysfunction
-
Perioperative clinical data: laboratory tests, imaging, haemodynamic measures
-
risk prediction score of the American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA), EUROpean System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroScore), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading of angina pectoris (CCS)
-
Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), MELD excluding International Normalised Ratio (INR) (MELD-XI), modified MELD score (modMELD), Child-Pugh
The occurrence and etiology pattern of hepatic impairment are going to be evaluated according to age and type of cardiac illness. Correlations between perioperative haemodynamical alterations and structural, functional changes in hepatic status will be investigated.
The impact of hepatic impairment on surgical outcome is going to be examined by multivariate regression models.

- Length of ICU stay [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Evidence of clinically definite postoperative decline in hepatic function [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
- Need for reoperation due to bleeding or cardiac cause [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
- Evidence of clinically definite postoperative pulmonary or systemic congestion [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
- Evidence of clinically definite postoperative low cardiac output syndrome [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
- Evidence of clinically definite postoperative acute kidney injury and the need for dialysis [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
- Evidence of clinically definite postoperative impaired coagulation [Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks]
