چکیده
BACKGROUND Neurological injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) continues to be a major problem after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of Interleukin-18 (IL-18) and SC5b-9 as biochemical markers of neurocognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery. METHODS A total of 30 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery using CPB were recruited. Blood samples were obtained for IL-18 and SC5b-9 concentrations before induction, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h post-CPB and 6 weeks after operation. In addition, patients underwent a standard battery of neuropsychometric tests before operation and at day 5 and 6 weeks after operation. RESULTS Serum concentration of IL-18, but not SC5b-9, was significantly different between patients with and without neurocognitive dysfunction; serum IL-18 concentration significantly increased in patients with neurocognitive dysfunction (P = 0.018). Neurological outcome was significantly dependent on peak difference in IL-18 concentration at day 5 (P = 0.033), but not on peak difference in SC5b-9 concentration (P = 0.16). Eight patients had neurocognitive dysfunction at day 5 and three had neurocognitive dysfunction at 6 weeks. In a very small number of patients, no significant association was demonstrated between IL-18 or SC5b-9 concentrations and neurocognitive dysfunction at 6 weeks. CONCLUSIONS IL-18 has the potential as a useful marker of neurological dysfunction, requiring further investigation.

INTRODUCTION Neurological and neurocognitive dysfunction occurs frequently in the large number of increasingly elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery every year. Perioperative cognitive deficits have been shown to persist after discharge and up to several years after surgery. More importantly, perioperative cognitive decline is predictive of long-term cognitive dysfunction, reduced quality...

The purpose of our study was to investigate the association between perioperative cerebral microembolization, expressed as high-intensity transient signals (HITS) and postoperative dynamics of the neuromarker S100P in patients operated using cardiopulmonary bypass, and to assess their impact upon the neurocognitive function in the early postoperative stage. The study involved 62 consecutive mal...
