Brief summary

This randomized controlled trial is to assess the effects of perioperative dapagliflozin on type 2 diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Detailed description

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor(SGLT2i) including dapagliflozin are widely used in the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). In recent studies, SGLT2i were found to not only reduce blood glucose but also protect the heart and kidney, which can significantly reduce cardiovascular events, delay the progression of renal failure, greatly improve the quality of life of patients. Patients with T2DM have poorer cardiac surgery outcomes compared with non-diabetics. Based on the promising pharmacological profile of dapagliflozin, we hypothesize that perioperative dapagliflozin therapy would improve postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing cardiac surgery with T2DM. This randomized controlled trial is to assess the effects of perioperative dapagliflozin on type 2 diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Interventions

DRUGDapagliflozin

The patients is required to receive dapagliflozin(10mg, q.d.) at least for 3 days until 24 hours before the surgery. Then dapagliflozin will be discontinued and recovered as soon as the patient is able to take oral diet postoperatively. Dapagliflozin wil be ceased five days after surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
cardiac diastolic functionwithin 5 days after surgeryImprovement in either E/e' ratio or left ventricular end-diastolic volume, as measured by echocardiography.
Hs-Troponin-Iwithin 5 days after surgery
ICU stayan average of 3 daysICU Stay was defined as the duration (in days) of initial postoperative stay in the intensive care unit following cardiac surgery.
Length of in-hospital timean average of 2 weeksLength of in-hospital time was defined as the total number of days from the date of surgery to the date of hospital discharge.
Renal functionwithin 5 days after surgeryAcute kidney injury determined by creatinine changes and the need for renal replacement therapy, along with creatinine changes and the need for renal replacement therapy themselves.
NT-proBNPwithin 5 days after surgeryN-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide
Postoperative atrial fibrillationwithin 5 days after surgeryIn this study, postoperative AF was defined as occurrence of the arrhythmia within the first 5 days after cardiac surgery. AF was considered to be present when an irregular rhythm was detected in the absence of P waves and/or presence an f wave
Perioperative myocardial infarctionIn-hospital time, an average of 2 weeksPerioperative myocardial infarction was defined as an elevation in cardiac troponin accompanied by evidence of ischemia from ECG, angiographic, or imaging findings.
cardiac systolic functionwithin 5 days after surgeryImprovement in either left ventricular ejection fraction or left ventricular end-systolic volume, as measured by echocardiography.
Abnormal blood potassium concentrationwithin 5 days after surgeryblood potassium concentration\<3.5mmol/L or \>5.5mmol/L
postoperative blood glucose levelwithin 5 days after surgery
Inflammatory biomarkerswithin 5 days after surgeryhigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α

MeasureTime frameDescription
Major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events and its individual components30 daysMajor adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events composite includes all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, and reoperation
ICU readmissionIn-hospital time, an average of 2 weeksICU readmission was defined as any unplanned readmission to the intensive care unit during the index hospitalization after the initial ICU discharge, regardless of cause.
Safety OutcomeIn-hospital time, an average of 2 weeksDiabetic ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycemic events, hypovolemia, urogenital tract infection, Incision infection and serious adverse events
