Objective: The authors aimed to validate the European Multicenter Study on Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (E-CABG) classification of postoperative Complications in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Design: Retrospective, observational study. Setting: University hospital. Participants: A total of 2,764 patients with severe coronary artery disease. Complete baseline, operative, and postoperative data were available for patients who underwent isolated CABG. Interventions: Isolated CABG. Measurements and Main Results: The E-CABG complication classification was used to stratify the severity and prognostic impact of adverse postoperative events. Primary outcome endpoints were 30-day, 90-day, and long-term all cause mortality. The secondary outcome endpoints was the length of intensive care unit stay. Both the E-CABG complication grades and additive score were predictive of 30-day (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve 0.866, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.829-0.903; and 0.876; 95% CI 0.844-0.908, respectively) and 90-day (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve 0.850, 95% CI 0.812-0.887; and 0.863, 95% CI 0.829-0.897, respectively) all-cause mortality. The complication grades were independent predictors of increased mortality at actuarial (log-rank: p < 0.0001) and adjusted analysis (p < 0.0001; grade 1: hazard ratio [HR] 1.757, 95% CI 1.111-2.778; grade 2: HR 2.704, 95% CI 1.664-4.394; grade 3: HR 5.081, 95% CI 3.148-8.201). When patients who died within 30 days were excluded from the analysis, this grading method still was associated with late mortality (p < 0.0001). The grading method (p < 0.0001) and the additive score (rho, 0.514; p < 0.0001) were predictive of the length of intensive care unit stay. Conclusions: The E-CABG postoperative complication classification seems to be a promising tool for stratifying the severity and prognostic impact of postoperative complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Design: Retrospective, observational study. Setting: University hospital. Participants: A total of 2,764 patients with severe coronary artery disease. Complete baseline, operative, and postoperative data were available for patients who underwent isolated CABG. Interventions: Isolated CABG. Measurements and Main Results: The E-CABG complication classification was used to stratify the severity and prognostic impact of adverse postoperative events. Primary outcome endpoints were 30-day, 90-day, and long-term all cause mortality. The secondary outcome endpoints was the length of intensive care unit stay. Both the E-CABG complication grades and additive score were predictive of 30-day (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve 0.866, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.829-0.903; and 0.876; 95% CI 0.844-0.908, respectively) and 90-day (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve 0.850, 95% CI 0.812-0.887; and 0.863, 95% CI 0.829-0.897, respectively) all-cause mortality.
