Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the impact of complications on short- and long-term survival after cardiac surgery. Materials and methods: Retrospective cohort of patients after their first cardiac surgery at the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño from 2001 to 2019. A multivariate and Cox regression analysis identified predictors of early and late complications and mortality. Results: 1709 children were included and the overall rate of major complications was 29.3%; being 20% cardiac and 17.1% extracardiac. Overall mortality was 11.9%, with operative mortality (30 days or before hospital discharge) being 6.4% and 8.9% at one year. A higher number of complications affected operative (p < 0.0001), 90-day (p < 0.0001), 120-day (p < 0.0001) and 1-year (p < 0.0001) mortality. Reoperation (HR = 2.3; 95 % CI: 1.6-3.4), low cardiac output (HR = 8.5; 95 % CI: 6.0-12.0), cardiac arrest (HR = 7.7; 95 % CI: 4.3-13.6), sepsis (HR = 8.1; 95 % CI: 5.8-11.5) and peritoneal dialysis (HR = 3.7; 95 % CI: 2.3-6.2) were associated with higher 1-year mortality. Conclusions: There is a strong association between the type and number of postoperative complications with decreased early and long-term survival. It is justified to identify and control risk factors in early stages.
