Background: Sternal wound infection (SWI) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can carry a significant risk of morbidity and mortality.
Sternal wound infection (SWI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a challenging complication of the median sternotomy surgical approach. A comprehensive definition of SWI is described by El Oakley and Wright.
This study examined a retrospective cohort of all Alberta patients undergoing CABG between April 1, 2002, and November 30, 2009. Cardiac procedures are performed at two regional cardiac centers in the province.
In 2002, our healthcare system transitioned from ICD-9 coding to ICD-10 coding for diagnostic coding of diseases. A committee of cardiac care researchers, internal medicine physicians, plastic surgeons, and cardiac surgeons met to identify which ICD-10 codes best described SWI following CABG.
A total of 8,704 patients in Alberta underwent CABG. Of these patients, 6,258 (71.9 percent) had hospital discharge data up to one year following CABG. A total of 2,820 patients (45.1 percent) were from the regional site selected for chart review, and of those, 264 (9.4 percent) were coded as having a postoperative SWI.
As described in the methods section, the ICD-10 codes in this study were selected on the basis of a committee discussion of cardiovascular researchers, plastic surgeons, and cardiac surgeons. Two lists of codes were created.
This study was funded through the University of Calgary Surgical Research Development Fund.
