摘要
AimThe general assumption that non-elective cardiac procedures in octogenarians are related to poor postoperative outcomes and quality of life (QOL) might lead to a non-justified exclusion of elderly patients from surgical treatment. The aim of the present study was to assess survival, functional outcome and quality of life of octogenarians undergoing non-elective cardiac surgery. MethodsBetween 2009 and 2011, 62 consecutive octogenarians (mean age 83.53.5 years) underwent urgent (n=33) or emergency (n=29) cardiac surgery. In 69% of patients, coronary artery bypass grafting was carried out, and 24% of patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting plus valve surgery. Preoperative risk, as well as the postoperative course, was analyzed. All discharged patients were contacted to gain information about survival, functional capacity and QOL using the Barthel Mobility Index and the Short Form 12 Health Survey questionnaire. Results were compared with age-adjusted population data. ResultsIn-hospital mortality was 32.3% overall, 9.3% in urgent cases and 56.7% in emergency cases. After a mean follow-up period of 447 +/- 359 days, survival of the discharged patients was 93.1% (urgent) and 76.9% (emergency), respectively. QOL measures of the survivors were equivalent to those of the general elderly population. Functional capacity, calculated with Barthel Index, was high in both groups (86 +/- 13 and 81 +/- 21). A total of 92% of the patients were living at home. ConclusionsAlthough non-elective cardiac surgery in the elderly is related to high in-hospital mortality, physical and psychological recovery of the survivors is encouraging. QOL equals that of the general elderly population, and good functional status offers a highly independent life. Therefore, age per se should not disqualify patients from urgent or emergency cardiac surgery. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2016; 16: 416-423.
