Abstract

The aim of this study retrospective cohort was to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative total lymphocyte count in peripheral blood as a predictor of postoperative complications and mortality in cardiac surgery. All adults undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass in 2009. The cohort size was 1 368 patients. Patient characteristics, hospital mortality, postoperative complications, ventilation period, intensive care unit and hospital stay were analysed. Preoperative total lymphocyte count <1 611 cells/L was assotiated with significantly higher mortality by univariate (p<0,0001) and multivariate (p<0,022) analisys. Low preoperative total lymphocyte count was associated with more frequent inotropic support (p<0,001); postoperative heart arrhythmia (p<0,001); hemodialysis-dependent acute renal failure (p<0,001); and a prolonged ventilation period (p=0,001), intensive care unit stay (p<0,001), and hospital stay (p=0,007). Low preoperative total lymphocyte count in peripheral blood is a useful prognostic criterion for evaluation of a complicated postoperative period in cardiosurgical patients.
