      cardiovascular surgery.

AB  - Cardiovascular surgery is a highly invasive intervention that is often performed 
      in elderly patients at risks of complications because of malnutrition and reduced 
      immunity. This study investigated nutritional factors that affected length of 
      hospital stay in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Among 68 patients 
      who underwent surgery at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Gifu 
      Municipal Hospital between April 2013 and March 2015, 55 with complete data were 
      included in the analysis. Data on serum albumin (ALB), transferrin (Tf), 
      pre-albumin (PA) and retinol binding protein (RBP) levels were collected. The 
      median length of hospital stay was 29 days (stays of >/=30 days were considered 
      long-term hospitalization). Multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) 
      included age (>/= 65 years), sex (female), and ALB (</= 3.0 g/dL), Tf (</= 150.0 
      mg/dL), PA (</= 10.0 mg/dL) and RBP (</= 1.5 mg/dL) levels. ALB [odds ratio (OR) 
      10.37, 95% CI (confidence interval): 1.185-90.80, P = 0.035] and Tf [OR 4.743, 
      95% CI: 1.375-16.36, P = 0.014] were significantly associated with length of 
      hospital stay. Nutritional management of patients and careful monitoring of ALB 
      and Tf levels can shorten length of hospital stay in patients undergoing 
      cardiovascular surgery.
