Risk factors of 30-day and long-term mortality and outcomes in open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOpen repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) was characterized by significant risk of postoperative mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the perioperative predictors of early and long-term mortality in patients undergoing open repair of TAAA. Besides, the postoperative outcomes in patients with open repair of TAAA were described.
methodsThis is a single-center retrospective study, and 146 patients with open repair of TAAA from January 4, 2011, to November 22, 2018 was involved. Categorical variables were analyzed by the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and continuous variables were analyzed by the independent sample t-test and the WilCoxon rank-sum test. Multivariate Logistic regression and Cox regression were applied to identify the predictors of 30-day and long-term mortality, respectively. The Kaplan Meier curves were used to illustrate survival with the Log-rank test.
resultsThe 30-day mortality was 9.59% (n = 14). Older than 50 years, the intraoperative volume of red blood cell (RBC) and epinephrine use were independently associated with postoperative 30-day mortality in open repair of TAAA. Long-term mortality was 17.12% (n = 25) (median of 3.5 years (IQR = 2-5 years) of follow-up). Prior open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair, aortic cross-clamping (ACC) time, intraoperative volume of RBC and use of epinephrine were independently correlated with long-term mortality.
conclusionsIdentifying perioperative risk factors of early and long-term mortaliy is crucial for surgeons. Intraoperative volume of RBC and use of epinephrine were predictors of both early and long-term mortality. In addition, patients of advanced age, prior open repair of TAAA and prolonged ACC time should be paid more attention.
