Abstract
- Background:Sternal wound infection (SWI) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can carry a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this work is to describe the methods used to identify cases of SWI in an administrative database and to demonstrate the effectiveness of using an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revisi…
Background
- 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.1 They describe mediastinal wound infection as “clinical or microbiological evidence of infected presternal tissue and sternal osteomyelitis with or without …
Methods
- Study Population
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. - Data Acquisition
Demographic and clinical data on all patients undergoing procedures are gathered and managed by a provincial database research group called APPROACH (Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease).18 In addition, hospital discharge abstracts fo…
Definition of Sternal Wound Infection
- 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. Using previous work with ICD-9 coding as a guide, the co...
Results
- 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. Using random sampling without replacement, 100 patient charts …
Discussion
- 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. One list (not shown) was an “all-inclusive” list of more than 20 ICD-10 codes that could possibly describe SWI, similar to that described by Huang et al.30 The o…

APPROACH (Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease) was initially funded with a grant from the W. Garfield Weston Foundation. Ongoing operation is funded by the Provincewide Services Committee of Alberta Health and Wellness and the following indus…
