Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Rate of post operative atrial fibrillation. Timepoint: Until the discharge day (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: Daily monitoring of 12-lead 24-hour ECG strips by resident physician.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Rate of other life-threatening arrhythmia. Timepoint: Until the discharge day from special wards (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: Other supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) of at least 30 seconds duration and documented by rhythm strip or 12-lead ECG.Ventricular tachycardia (VT) of at least 30 seconds duration and documented by rhythm strip or 12-lead ECG.Ventricular fibrillation (VF) of at least 30 seconds duration and documented by rhythm strip or 12-lead ECG.;Rate of post-operative acute kidney injury. Timepoint: 7 days after surgery. Method of measurement: AKI occurring within 7 days of CABG using the KDIGO definition of AKI.;Need for vasopressor/inotrope. Timepoint: Until the discharge day from special wards (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: The amount of average daily vasopressor/inotrope dose.;Duration of hospitalization. Timepoint: Until discharge or death. Method of measurement: Total hospital length-of-stay.;In-hospital mortality. Timepoint: Until the discharge day (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: In-hospital mortality, including cause-specific mortality: cardiac arrhythmic, cardiac nonarrhythmic, non-cardiovascular.;Rate of life-threatening infections. Timepoint: Until the discharge day (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: Any adjudicated clinically and laboratory confirmed systemic infection which leads to parenteral broad spectrum antibiotic initiation.;Rate of genitourinary tract infections. Timepoint: Until the discharge day (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: Any adjudicated laboratory and clinically confirmed urinary tract infections including cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, urethritis, and vaginitis.;Rate of hypoglycemia. Timepoint: Until the discharge day (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: Any recorded episode of hypoglycemia defined as BS< 70 mg/dL.;Rate of ketoacidosis. Timepoint: Until the discharge day (max= 30 days). Method of measurement: Any adjudicated clinically and laboratory confirmed ketoacidosis.;Ischemi
