[PMID: 37781714 PMCID: PMC10537929 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1259828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common and serious complication after cardiac surgery. The influence of statin use before surgery on the renal outcome of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of statins on postoperative renal outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: We included CSA-AKI patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database and were divided into statin group and non-statin group according to whether they used statins before entering intensive care units (ICU). The main outcomes were hospitalization and 30-day mortality, and the secondary outcomes were 60-day mortality and 90-day mortality. We used propensity score matching (PSM) to adjust for confounding factors. The 95% confidence interval (CI) and risk ratio (RO) were calculated by the COX proportional regression model. At the same time, stratified analysis was used to explore whether the relationship between the statins use before intensive care units and mortality was different in each subgroup and whether the relationship between different doses of Atorvastatin and mortality was different. Result: We identified 675 pre-ICU statin users and 2095 non-statin users. In the COX proportional regression model, pre-ICU statin use was associated with decreased in-hospital (HR = 0.407, 95%confidence interval 0.278-0.595, p < 0.001) and 30-day mortality (HR = 0.407, 95%CI 0.279-0.595, p < 0.001). The survival rate of patients who took statins before entering ICU was significantly higher than that of those who did not use statins at 30 days, 60 days and 90 days. There is a significant interaction between patients with aged>65 years (HR = 0.373, 95%CI 0.240-0.581, p < 0.001), Acute kidney injury grade I (HR = 0.244, 95%CI 0.118-0.428, p < 0.001), and without post-myocardial infarction syndrome (HR = 0.344, 95%CI 0.218-0.542, p < 0.001). The mortality in hospital and 60 days of CSA-AKI patients treated with ≥80 mg Atorvastatin before operation was significantly reduced (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The pre-ICU statin use was significantly associated with decreased risk in hospital and 30-day mortality. The preoperative use of ≥80 mg Atorvastatin may improve the prognosis of CSA-AKI.

Long-Term Preoperative Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin Use in Adult Patients before CABG Does Not Increase Incidence of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 2022; 29:354-364. [PMID: 35893597 PMCID: PMC9326680 DOI: 10.3390/pathophysiology29030027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is among the expected complications of cardiac surgery. Statins with pleiotropic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects may be effective in the prevention of AKI. However, the results of studies on the efficacy and safety of statins are varied and require further study. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate long-term preoperative intake of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin on the incidence of AKI, based on the “Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes” (KDIGO) criteria in the early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). We performed propensity score matching to compare the findings in our study groups. The incidence of AKI was assessed on day 2 and day 4 after the surgery. Results: The analysis included 958 patients after CABG. After 1:1 individual matching, based on propensity score, the incidence of AKI was comparable both on day 2 after the surgery (7.4%) between the atorvastatin group and rosuvastatin group (6.5%) (OR: 1.182; 95%Cl 0.411–3.397; p = 0.794), and on postoperative day 4 between the atorvastatin group (3.7%) and the rosuvastatin group (4.6%) (OR: 0.723, 95%Cl 0.187–2.792; p = 0.739). Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of incidence of AKI after 1:1 individual matching, based on propensity score, between the rosuvastatin group and the control group both on postoperative day 2 (OR: 0.692; 95%Cl 0.252–1.899; p = 0.611) and day 4 (OR: 1.245; 95%Cl 0.525–2.953; p = 0.619); as well as between the atorvastatin group and the control group both on postoperative day 2 (OR: 0.549; 95%Cl 0.208–1.453; p = 0.240) and day 4 (OR: 0.580; 95%Cl 0.135–2.501; p = 0.497). Conclusion: Long-term statin use before CABG did not increase the incidence of postoperative AKI. Further, we revealed no difference in the incidence of post-CABG AKI between the atorvastatin and rosuvastatin groups.

Effect of lipid-lowering medications in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery outcomes. BMC Anesthesiol 2022; 22:122. [PMID: 35473580 PMCID: PMC9040242 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-022-01675-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased life expectancy and improved medical technology allow increasing numbers of elderly patients to undergo cardiac surgery. Elderly patients may be at greater risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Complications can lead to worsened quality of life, shortened life expectancy and higher healthcare costs. Reducing perioperative complications, especially severe adverse events, is key to improving outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The objective of this study is to determine whether perioperative lipid-lowering medication use is associated with a reduced risk of complications and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS After IRB approval, we reviewed charts of 9,518 patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB at three medical centers between July 2001 and June 2015. The relationship between perioperative lipid-lowering treatment and postoperative outcome was investigated. 3,988 patients who underwent CABG met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Patients were divided into lipid-lowering or non-lipid-lowering treatment groups. RESULTS A total of 3,988 patients were included in the final analysis. Compared to the patients without lipid-lowering medications, the patients with lipid-lowering medications had lower postoperative neurologic complications and overall mortality (P < 0.05). Propensity weighted risk-adjustment showed that lipid-lowering medication reduced in-hospital total complications (odds ratio (OR) = 0.856; 95% CI 0.781-0.938; P < 0.001); all neurologic complications (OR = 0.572; 95% CI 0.441-0.739; P < 0.001) including stroke (OR = 0.481; 95% CI 0.349-0.654; P < 0.001); in-hospital mortality (OR = 0.616; 95% CI 0.432-0.869; P = 0.006; P < 0.001); and overall mortality (OR = 0.723; 95% CI 0.634-0.824; P < 0.001). In addition, the results indicated postoperative lipid-lowering medication use was associated with improved long-term survival in this patient population. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative lipid-lowering medication use was associated with significantly reduced postoperative adverse events and improved overall outcome in elderly patients undergoing CABG surgery with CPB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The existing literature has shown conflicting results regarding the association between preoperative statin exposure and the risk of postoperative cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). DESIGN A single-center retrospective observational study. SETTING A single, large, tertiary care center. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients undergoing open cardiac surgery between January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2019. INTERVENTIONS AKI was defined using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. A multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score-matched analysis were used to study the association. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 58,399 patient charts were retrospectively reviewed. The preoperative statin exposure cohort had a lower prevalence of all stages of CSA-AKI (30.7% v 36.3%, p < 0.001) and stage 3 CSA-AKI (0.9% v 2.1%, p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, preoperative statin exposure was a protective factor against all stages of postoperative CSA-AKI (odds ratio [OR], 0.885, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.852-0.920, p < 0.001) and stage 3 CSA-AKI in adults (OR, 0.671, 95% CI, 0.567-0.795, p < 0.001). A propensity score-matched analysis showed that the preoperative statin exposure cohort had a lower risk of all stages of postoperative CSA-AKI (30.7% v 35.3%, p < 0.001) and stage 3 CSA-AKI (0.9% v 2.2%, p < 0.001) than the control cohort. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative statin exposure was associated with all stages of postoperative CSA-AKI and stage 3 CSA-AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins have known pleiotropic effects that confer protection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Because cardiopulmonary bypass is a potentially reversible ischemia-reperfusion sequence, we aimed to assess whether statin loading could help to limit myocardial injury in patients undergoing isolated heart valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS One hundred patients with rheumatic valvular heart disease undergoing valve replacement received either a loading dose of rosuvastatin (40 mg initiated 7 days before surgery; loaded group) or no statins (non-loaded group). Cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase MB, and brain natriuretic peptide were measured at 8, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively. The primary endpoint was the extent of perioperative myocardial injury measured by the area under the curve for each biomarker. RESULTS Despite similar baseline levels, all biomarkers at 8, 24, and 48 h were significantly lower in the loaded group. The area under the curve of each biomarker was significantly lower in the loaded group than in the non-loaded group (troponin I: 31.43 vs. 77.21 ng·h·mL-1, creatine kinase MB 309.31 vs. 429.12 ng·h·mL-1, brain natriuretic peptide 5176.11 vs. 16119.31 pg·h·mL-1, all p < 0.001). The mean changes from baseline to peak levels were also significantly lower in the loaded group. The loaded group had a shorter hospital stay but no significant difference was seen in ventilator time, inotrope time, aortic crossclamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, or intensive care unit stay. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing valve replacement, high-dose statin loading before surgery had a favorable impact on the release kinetics of various cardiac biomarkers.

Abstract
Background The prevention of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) by statins remains controversial. Therefore, the present meta-analysis including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to assess the effect of perioperative statin on CSA-AKI. Methods Two reviewers independently searched for RCTs about perioperative statin for prevention of CSA-AKI. The primary endpoint was CSA-AKI. Relative risk was calculated between statin and placebo for preventing CSA-AKI using the random-effect model or fixed-effect model according to different heterogeneity. Results Eight RCTs met inclusion criteria, including five studies with atorvastatin, two with rosuvastatin, and one with simvastatin. There were 1,603 patients receiving statin treatment and 1,601 with placebo. Perioperative statin therapy did not reduce the incidence of CSA-AKI (relative risk =1.17, 95% CI: 0.98–1.39, p=0.076). Furthermore, perioperative statin increased the risk of CSA-AKI in the subgroup analysis with clear definition of CSA-AKI and those with JADAD score >3. Perioperative rosuvastatin produced slightly significantly higher risk of AKI than atorvastatin therapy (p=0.070). Statin intervention both pre and post surgery slightly increased the risk of CSA-AKI versus preoperative statin therapy alone (p=0.040). Conclusions Perioperative statin therapy might increase the risk of CSA-AKI after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Statin intake before cardiac surgery is associated with favorable outcomes. We sought to analyze the evidence for statin pretreatment before isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery and aortic valve replacement surgery. In this meta-analysis, we demonstrate beneficial results for the endpoints mortality, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and length of stay in hospital in 36,053 statin-pretreated coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients compared with control subjects retrieved from 32 studies, but fail to detect relevant advantages through preoperative statin therapy for 3,091 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement from four trials. Strict adherence to guidelines recommending statin treatment before CABG surgery is therefore mandatory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HMG CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A) reductase inhibitors, or statins, have been associated with an improvement in outcomes after coronary artery surgery for some time; however, their role in isolated valve surgery (IVS) remains undetermined. HYPOTHESIS The pleiotropic effects of statins may produce similar beneficial effects on outcomes after IVS. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed investigating the role of statins in bioprosthetic valve replacement. RESULTS Nine observational studies (7 retrospective, 2 prospective) incorporating a total of 18 154 patients were found investigating the role of statin therapy in bioprosthetic valve replacement. CONCLUSIONS There is presently insufficient evidence to recommend routine statin therapy in IVS, unless concomitant hypercholesterolemia or coronary artery disease is present. A prospective study clearly defining the dose, type, and duration of therapy is now required to finally clarify whether statins alone confer a postoperative benefit in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a common complication associated with serious morbidity and mortality. Activation of inflammatory cascade and vascular endothelial dysfunction plays a vital role during the perioperative period leading to AKI. Statins are known to suppress inflammation and improve endothelial dysfunction over and above the cholesterol lowering efficacy. METHODS Observational studies with a defined population in terms of preoperative statin therapy and no preoperative statin therapy undergoing cardiac surgery (CABG, isolated valve surgery or both) and with reported data on the incidence of acute renal failure/injury and/or mortality were identified and analysed for inclusion in the analysis. Outcomes evaluated were occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury/failure, requirement of any postoperative renal replacement therapy and short-term all-cause mortality rate. A meta-analysis was conducted and a pooled estimate of odds ratio (OR) was calculated using the inverse variance method. RESULTS A total of 17 studies with a total population of 24 998 statin users and 22 082 non-statin users were included in the final analysis. PST resulted in a significantly lower incidence of renal replacement therapy in patients undergoing CABG (OR: 0.56 [0.41-0.76]) but not in isolated valve surgery (OR: 1.80 [0.73-4.44]). Also preoperative statin therapy resulted in a significantly lower postoperative mortality (0.72 [0.61-0.84]) irrespective of the type of surgery. There was no effect of preoperative statin therapy on the incidence of AKI in any of the sub-group of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing CABG might derive benefit from preoperative statin therapy in terms of reducing the need for postoperative renal replacement therapy and mortality. However, the uncertainty concerning the reno-protective efficacy of preoperative statin therapy in patients undergoing isolated valve surgery needs further investigation.

Abstract
The objective of this systematic literature review with meta-analysis was to determine the strength of evidence for a preoperative statin on the reduction of adverse postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Randomized controlled (RCT) and observational trials were searched in online databases that reported about the effects of preoperative statin therapy on major adverse clinical outcomes after cardiac surgery. Analysed outcomes included early all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke and renal failure using a priori-defined criteria. Effect estimates were calculated and are given as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using fixed- or random-effect models. Literature search of all major databases retrieved 2371 studies. After screening, a total of 54 trials were identified (12 RCT, 42 observational) that reported outcomes of 91 491 cardiac surgery patients with (n = 46 614; 51%) or without (n = 44 877; 49%) preoperative statin therapy. Preoperative statin use resulted in a 0.9% absolute risk (2.6 vs 3.5%) and a 31% odds reduction for early all-cause mortality (OR 0.69; 95% CI 0.59-0.81; P < 0.0001). In addition, statin treatment before surgery was associated with a substantial reduction (P < 0.01) in the postoperative end-points AF (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.61-0.82), new-onset AF (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.54-0.85), stroke (OR 0.83; 95% CI 0.74-0.93), stay on intensive care unit (weighted mean difference [WMD] -0.14; 95% CI -0.23 to -0.03; P < 0.01) and in-hospital stay (WMD -0.57; 95% CI -0.76 to -0.38; P < 0.01). No statistical differences were found between groups with regard to myocardial infarction or renal failure. In conclusion, the current systematic review strengthens the evidence that preoperative statin therapy extends substantial clinical benefit to early postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgery patients.

Augoustides JGT. Integrating outcome benefit into anesthetic design: the promise of steroids and statins. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2012; 25:880-4. [PMID: 21962304 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2011.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2011] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Steroids and statins may facilitate the integration of anesthetic design with clinical outcome. Although steroids clearly benefit adult cardiac surgical patents, the evidence is weaker in pediatric cardiac surgery. Current large randomized trials of steroids likely will determine the future role of steroids in adult cardiac surgery. In the intensive care unit, steroid therapy is indicated in septic shock that is refractory to fluid and pressor therapy. Recent data, however, indicate that liberal steroid therapy for sepsis may have adverse outcome consequences. A 2nd concern in the intensive care unit is acute adrenal suppression secondary to bolus etomidate therapy because it may be deleterious in patients with septic shock. Possible clinical solutions include alternative induction agents, concomitant steroid therapy, and recent etomidate derivatives. Statins also reduce mortality and atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. Furthermore, they slow the progression of rheumatic valvular stenosis, an important consideration in the developing world. Statins also may reduce delirium, stroke, and acute renal injury after cardiac surgery, but further randomized trials are required before definitive recommendations can be formulated. Statins are essential in vascular surgery because they reduce mortality, myocardial ischemia, and acute renal injury. As a result, they have been recommended highly for outcome enhancement in recent perioperative guidelines. Although they may improve survival in sepsis, further investigation is indicated to define their therapeutic role.
