Abstract
Introduction. Concomitant diseases as a risk factor for surgery remain an urgent problem in pediatric cardiac surgery. The article presents the role of comorbidity in pediatric cardiac surgery. A comparative analysis of the indicators of cardiac surgical treatment of patients with and without extracardiac pathology was carried out. Aim: to determine the significance of extracardiac causes as an additional risk factor in the correction of congenital heart lesions in children.
Materials and methods. Prospective analysis of five hundred patients who had undergone cardiac surgery in the departments of cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology. Patients were divided into a main group of patients with concomitant pathology (n = 350) and a control group (n = 150) without concomitant pathology. A complex of modern therapeutic and diagnostic procedures and a multidisciplinary approach were used.
Results. A high incidence of complications was shown in the main group (70%). Hospital mortality was higher in patients with concomitant pathology and amounted to 17.4%, compared to 3.3% in the group without concomitant pathology. The average duration in the ICU for patients with concomitant pathology was 18 ± 2 bed days, for patients without concomitant pathology — 4 ± 2 bed days.
Conclusion. The presence of concomitant pathology has been shown to influence significantly on the development of complications and be a prognostic risk factor that must be included in modern prediction models.
