• W2892766638 abstract "Clostridium difficile (CD) is the most common pathogen causing nosocomial diarrhea. The clinical presentation ranges from mild diarrhea to severe complications, including pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, sepsis, and multi-organ failure. When the disease takes a fulminant course, death ensues rapidly in severe and complex cases. Preventive screening or current prophylactic therapies are not useful. Therefore, this study was conducted to detect risk factors for a fulminant CD infection (CDI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Between April 1999 and April 2011, a total of 41,466 patients underwent cardiac surgery at our institution. A review of our hospital database revealed 1256 patients (3.0%) with post-operative diarrheal disease who tested positive for CD; these patients comprised the cohort of this observational study. A fulminant CDI occurred in 153 of these patients (12.2%), which was diagnosed on the basis of gastrointestinal complications, e.g. pseudomembranous colitis, and/or the need for post-cardiac surgery laparotomy. Demographic, peri-operative, and survival data were analyzed, and predictors of a fulminant CDI were assessed by binary logistic regression analysis. The 30-day mortality was 6.1% (n = 77) for the entire cohort, with significantly higher mortality among patients with a fulminant CDI (21.6% vs. 4.0%, p < 0.001). Overall mortality (27.7%, n = 348) was also higher for patients with a fulminant course of the disease (63.4% vs. 22.8%, p < 0.001), and a laparotomy was required in 36.6% (n = 56) of the fulminant cases. Independent predictors of a fulminant CDI were: diabetes mellitus type 2 (OR 1.74, CI 1.15–2.63, p = 0.008), pre-operative ventilation (OR 3.52, CI 1.32–9.35, p = 0.012), utilization of more than 8 units of red blood cell concentrates (OR 1.95, CI 1.01–3.76, p = 0.046) or of more than 5 fresh-frozen plasma units (OR 3.38, CI 2.06–5.54, p < 0.001), and a cross-clamp time > 130 min (OR 1.93, CI 1.12–3.33, p = 0.017). We identified several independent risk factors for the development of a fulminant CDI after cardiac surgery. Close monitoring of high-risk patients is important in order to establish an early onset of therapy and thus to prevent a CDI from developing a fulminant course after cardiac surgery." @default.
