Abstract

Objective. To evaluate the effect of comorbidity on the immediate results of surgical correction of valvular heart defects (VHD) ± coronary heart disease (CHD) in elderly patients.

Material and methods. 240 patients ≥ 60 years old (mean age 69.2 ±1.3 years) underwent correction of VHD ± CHD. 178 (74.2%) elderly before operations were classified as New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (FC) III, and 62 (25.8%) were classified as FC IV. The average EuroSCORE (ES) II in the elderly is 15.7 ± 3.3%. Before surgery, patients were assessed for comorbidity according to Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) – the average score was 8.5±1.1.

Results. Non-lethal complications in the early postoperative period were noted in 103 (42.9%) patients. An independent predictor of the development of postoperative complications was the CCI score ≥ 3 (p < 0.05). In the course of correlation analysis, we noted a statistically significant correlation between the scores obtained by CCI and the incidence of postoperative complications (p = 0.001). Hospital mortality in patients ≥ 60 years of age is 7.9% (n =19). In-hospital mortality in the early p/o period was influenced by CCI ≥ 3 (p < 0.05). At discharge from the clinic, 143 (64.7%) elderly patients switched to NYHA FC II, 78 (35.3%) – to NYHA FC III.

Conclusion. Elderly patients were highly comorbid before correction of VHD ± CHD. The CCI score ≥ 3 was a strong predictor of both early postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality. The majority (64.7%) of patients at discharge were in NYHA FC II, 35.3% – in FC III.
