Abstract

Abstract Background type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a known risk factor of coronary artery disease (CAD). Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in T2DM patients. Antecedent to and associated with epicardial coronary artery stenosis, T2DM patients develop abnormal microvascular function in systemic circulatory beds. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1c) has been established as a risk factor for T2DM patients developing microvascular atherosclerosis. Aim of the Work the Effect of Glycosylated Hemoglobin Control on Post-Operative Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Outcomes this is widely across studies and patient populations, and this heterogeneity must be controlled when using the literature to indicate safety. Patients and Methods this study was performed on 60 patients, who underwent CABG at Cardiothoracic Academy from January 2018 to August 2018. Retrospective Descriptive Observational Study. Cardiothoracic Academy, Ain Shams University Hospitals. Study Period: 6 Months. This study included all patients operated upon for CABG in our hospital and who fulfilled our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results preoperative HbA1c is not the only predictor of surgical site infection after cardiac surgery in diabetic patients and in patients with previously undiagnosed diabetes. Baseline HbA1c 8.6 was associated with the higher risk of chest wound infection. Interestingly, in this series. Conclusion this study shows that the incidence of chest and leg wound infections are significantly related to the value of the glycosylated hemoglobin and rate of infection increases with poor control of diabetes and from this study we recommend measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin value for all patient undergoing cardiac surgery.
