Abstract:
Objective:To prevent postoperative myocardial oedema or other causes of acute heart failure in congenital cardiac disease,anticipating delay sternal closure may reduce the number of children requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation after surgery.The aim of this study was to describe the rate of delay sternal closure after surgery for congenital cardiac disease and to analyse the risk factors that may be associated with it.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed all surgeries with extracorporeal circulation in the cardiothoracic surgery intensive care unit of Shanghai Children's Medical Center in the past five years,from September 2014 to December 2018.The study cohort was divided into the delay sternal closure group (n=418) and the control group (routine chest closure,n=12 188) according to whether a delay sternal closure was applicated.Risk factors associated with delay sternal closure were identified by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 12 606 cases were eligible,of which 418 (3.32%) were in the delayed sternal closure group.The most common cardiac diagnosis in the delayed sternal group was transposition of the great arteries (26.8%,112/418),whereas the most common cardiac diagnosis in the control group was ventricular septal defect (45.9%,5 599/12 188).All-cause mortality in children in the delayed sternal closure group was 3.3% (14/418) compared with 0.4% (46/12 188) in the control group,with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the need for delayed sternal closure were associated with age ( OR 0.164,95% CI 0.079-0.338, P<0.001),positive intropic support before surgery ( OR 0.42,95% CI 0.252-0.699, P=0.001),sex（ OR 0.742，95% CI 0.648-1.098， P<0.05），mean body weight（ OR 1.192，95% CI 1.078-1.318， P<0.001），positive intropic support before surgery（ OR 0.370，95% CI 0.252-0.699， P<0.001），complicated surgery ( OR 0.241,95% CI 0.159-0.367, P<0.001) and extracorporeal circulation diversion time ( OR 6.412,95% CI 4.339-9.475, P<0.001). Conclusion:Delayed sternal closure is an important management strategy for congenital cardiac surgery in infants and children.Delayed sternal closure is associated with age，sex,mean body weight at the time of surgery,positive intropic support before surgery，complicated surgery and extracorporeal circulation diversion time.
