Factors Associated With Postoperative Complications Among Critical Patients Undergoing Open-Heart Surgery: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
aimTo identify the factors associated with postoperative complications within the first 24 h among individuals who have undergone open-heart surgery.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsThe participants were 192 elective open-heart surgery patients admitted to a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Data were collected through data recording forms and questionnaires between August 2023 and February 2024, including the clinical frailty scale health questionnaire, serum creatinine assessment form, systemic immune-inflammation index, vasoactive-inotropic score, Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score and the comprehensive complication index. Multiple regression was used to analyse the data.
resultsMost of the participants (64.06%) were male with an average age of 63.14 (13.22) years. Almost a half of them (45.31%) were diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Frailty, kidney function, inflammation, the amount of packed red cells transfused, vasopressors and inotropes and operative risk were statistically significantly the factors affecting the severity of complications in patients after open-heart surgery during the first 24 h.
conclusionThe factors associated with postoperative complications specifically within 24 h after open-heart surgery should be closely monitored, including frailty, kidney function, inflammation, the amount of packed red cells transfused, vasopressors and inotropes and operative risk in order to prevent the postoperative complications. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: All participants contributed to the conducting of this study by participating in a one-day pre-operation and post-operation within 24 h.
