The epidemiology of postoperative dobutamine and phosphodiesterase inhibitors after adult elective cardiac surgery and its impact on the length of hospital stay: a post hoc analysis from the multicenter retrospective observational study

Abstract The optimal administration of inotrope after cardiac surgery is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the impact of postoperative inotrope on clinical outcomes in adult elective cardiac surgery patients. Data from the Blood Pressure and Relative Optimal Target after Heart Surgery in Epidemiologic Registry study were analyzed, employing propensity score considering the hospital of admission. The primary outcome was the length of hospital stay evaluated using quantile regression. Secondary outcomes were kidney injury progression, renal replacement therapy, atrial fibrillation, mortality, mechanical ventilation duration, and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Among 870 patients from 14 ICUs in Japan, 535 received inotropes within 24 h of ICU admission, with usage rates ranging from 40 to 100% among facilities. After propensity score matching, 218 patients were included in each group. The inotrope group had a significantly longer hospital stay compared to the control group (16 days vs. 14 days; median difference 1.78 [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31–3.24]; p = 0.018). However, no significant differences were observed in the secondary outcomes, except for mechanical ventilation duration. The results of the sensitivity analysis using a mixed-effects quantile regression analysis considering the hospital of admission for length of hospital stay in the original cohort were consistent with the results of the propensity analyses (median difference in days, 2.35 [95% CI, 0.35–4.36]; p = 0.022). The use of inotropes within 24 h of ICU admission in adult elective cardiac surgery patients was associated with an extended hospitalization period of approximately 2 days, without offering any prognostic benefit.
