Oral Medications

This study was conducted to prospectively assess if there are any outcome differences between patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with and without diabetes. This is an 11-year, prospective, hospitalization cohort study. Data were collected on 225 variables. A total of 8935 patients were available for our analysis (6023 nondiabetics, 319 diet-controlled diabetics, 1636 diabetics on oral medications, 957 insulin-controlled diabetics). Compared with nondiabetics, diet-treated diabetics possessed four significant comorbidities, diabetics treated with oral medications possessed 12 significant comorbidities, and insulin-treated diabetics possessed 13 significant comorbidities ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between diet-treated diabetics and nondiabetics for all outcomes. Diabetics treated with oral medications possessed a longer length of stay [relative risk (RR), 1.09; CI, 1.08–1.10], longer intensive care unit length of stay (RR, 1.56; CI, 1.12–2.00), and more intraoperative complications (RR, 1.42; CI, 1.12–1.66). Insulin-treated diabetics possessed more neurological complications (RR, 2.39; CI, 1.52–3.77), wound complications (RR, 2.42; CI, 1.19–4.95), and renal complications (RR, 2.43; CI, 1.70–3.49), longer length of stay (RR, 1.20; CI, 1.14–1.27), and longer intensive care unit length of stay (RR, 1.33; CI, 1.16–1.48). In diabetics undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, as their diabetes progresses from diet treated with oral medications to insulin-dependent, this is associated with more comorbidities at surgical presentation and more morbidity after surgery.

This research aimed to determine the depression level and its correlation experienced by post-coronary artery bypass graft patients after being discharged from cardiac intensive care units. A cross-sectional design was employed for assessing variables. The Self-rating Depression Scale, as proposed by Zung, was used by the researchers on a convenience sample of Jordanian patients ( N = 143) who were approached soon after their discharge from the targeted units. The results suggested that the level of depression among Jordanian patients was relatively high ( M = 62.7, SD = 5.6). Moreover, depression was significantly higher among female, unmarried and unemployed patients. Patients who received their information about coronary artery bypass graft surgery from nurses had a lower level of depression. Age, length of stay in the cardiac intensive care unit and hospital type significantly predicted the level of depression. The research concluded that the post-coronary artery bypass graft patients who experienced an early onset depression required more attention to highlight the importance of supportive interventions.
