Abstract: Objective The diabetic population has a high prevalence of coronary artery disease, and frequently patients with diabetes undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetics is shown to be associated with morbidity and mortality, but the association of HbA1c with postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) has conflicting results. In this study, we aim to identify if elevated HbA1c levels are associated with prolonged LOS after CABG surgery. … Show more

“…Most previous studies of prolonged hospitalization have focused on specific sub-groups of patients such as orthopaedic procedures [ 21 , 24 , 26 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 39 ], cardiovascular disease [ 13 , 15 , 17 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], solid organ transplantation [ 33 , 50 ], or oncological conditions [ 11 , 14 , 18 , 20 , 27 , 28 , 34 , 35 ] ( Supplementary Table S7 ). A limited number of studies have examined the epidemiology of prolonged hospitalization in internal medicine patients [ 23 , 45 , 51 ] but only one of these was multi-centre in nature [ 51 ].…”
