Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Predicts Poor Outcome After Elective Off-Pump CABG: A Retrospective, Single-Center Study.
To investigate the role of preoperative hematologic indices (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], platelet-lymphocyte ratio [PLR], systemic immune-inflammation index [SII; neutrophil × platelet/lymphocyte) in predicting short-term outcomes after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). ⋯ SII constitutes a parsimonious and reproducible parameter demonstrating the potential of delineating the patients vulnerable to poor outcomes after OPCABG given the combined contribution of pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic corpuscular lines in computing the novel index.

Observational StudyU-Shaped Association Between Intraoperative Net Fluid Balance and Risk of Postoperative Recurrent Atrial Tachyarrhythmia Among Patients Undergoing the Cryo-Maze Procedure: An Observational Study.
The ability of perioperative fluid management to prevent postoperative recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to assess if intraoperative net fluid balance was associated with atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence after the Cryo-Maze procedure. ⋯ There is a significant U-shaped association between intraoperative net fluid balance and early atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence among patients undergoing the Cryo-Maze procedure.
