Introduction
The coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) data provided by the Brazilian
Registry of Cardiovascular Surgeries in Adults (BYPASS) Registry is a
Brazilian reality.
Objective
To carry out a comparative exercise between the BYPASS Registry published
data and data from patients operated on in a randomly chosen period
(2013-2015) at Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de
Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMRP-USP).
Methods
This is a retrospective study reviewing 173 electronic medical records of
CABG patients from the HCFMRP-USP. These data were compared with the BYPASS
Registry published data. Chi-square test was used to verify the changes
within the prevalence of adequate/inadequate biochemical tests before and
after surgery. The sample was divided into groups consistent with
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (CPB ≤ 120 minutes and CPB > 120
minutes). For the complications, prevalence by the chi-square test was
adopted. Significant P-values are < 0.05.
Results
The comparative operative data of the BYPASS Registry and the HCFMRP-USP
patients were quite similar, except for the isolate use of only arterial
grafts, which was more frequent on HCFMRP-USP patients (30.8% vs. 15.9%),
and the use of radial artery, also more frequent on HCFMRP-USP patients
(48.8% vs. 1.1%)
Conclusion
The comparative study suggested that the BYPASS Registry should be a
reference for CABG quality control.
