Brief summary

Patients with diabetes have poorer cardiac surgery outcomes compared with non-diabetics. Proper blood glucose management is critical to reduce the morbidity and mortality for diabetic patients after cardiac surgery. SGLT2 inhibitors including dapagliflozin as a new diabetes drug can reduce heart failure hospitalization rates and overall cardiovascular mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. This study is to assess the impact of one year of treatment of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiac function, postoperative complications and long-term cardiovascular mortality in diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The investigators use echocardiography to evaluated cardiac function in diabetic patients during perioperative cardiac surgery.

Any other reason considered by a study physician to be inappropriate for inclusion.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Difference in mean EF% between the treatment and control study arms2 yearEchocardiography is used to assess cardiac function.
Difference in NTproBNP between the treatment and control study arms2 yearNT-proBNP is used to assess cardiac function.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Serious postoperative infection2 yearIncluding postoperative sternal dehiscence, external genital infections, etc.
Acute postoperative kidney injury2 yearAcute postoperative kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy
Hypoglycemia2 yearIdentified using ICD9 and ICD10 codes and reported as rates.
All-cause postoperative mortality2 yearAll-cause mortality identified during two years follow-up.
Diabetic ketoacidosis2 yearIdentified using ICD9 and ICD10 codes and reported as rates.
Lactic acidosis2 yearIdentified using ICD9 and ICD10 codes and reported as rates.
Post operative atrial fibrillation7 daysIn this study, postoperative AF was defined as occurrence of the arrhythmia within the first 7 days after cardiac surgery. AF was considered to be present when an irregular rhythm was detected in the absence of P waves and/or an f wave was detected.
Duration of Hospitalization2 yearDays from date of surgery to hospital discharge.
Rehospitalization for cardiovascular causes2 yearRehospitalization due to cardiovascular diseases during two years follow-up.
