Abstract: BackgroundFemale gender has been reported to be an independent risk factor for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in European System for Cardiac Risk Evaluation. The effect of the body size on the CABG outcome is less clear. There is ongoing debate about obesity as a risk factor for adverse outcomes after cardiovascular procedures. The goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate the in hospital and early postoperative outcomes in severe obese, obese and normal-slightly obese female patients after CABG.… Show more

“…Re-exploration occurred more in group A which is inconsistent to previous studies [9,12]. Group A had more patients with 4 grafts which increased the number of anastomosis and could contribute to the postoperative bleeding risk.…”

“…We apply strict measures to control blood sugar level preoperatively in elective surgery and our target HbA1C is less than 7.5. Obesity increases the risk of hypertension and for every one-kilogram increase in body weight, an increase of blood pressure by 1 mmHg occurs [12]. Several studies confirmed the association between hypertension and obesity [9,11,12] which was not elicited by our study.…”

“…Some studies have found no significant association between a patient's BMI and mortality after CABG, [12][13][14]20,21] but others have proposed that being underweight is an independent predictor for post-CABG morbidity and mortality. [17,22,23] Rahmanian et al [9] determined that the highest mortality rate (4.6%) occurred in patients with a BMI <20 kg/m 2 , and this was true even though their study included those with a BMI >30 kg/m 2 . In our study, the underweight subjects smoked more and also had more pulmonary complications and longer perfusion times, all of which could be responsible for the higher mortality rate in this group.…”
