Abstract
The impact of multidisciplinary care on outcome after heart transplantation (HTx) remains unclear.
This retrospective study investigates the impact of multidisciplinary care on the primary end point 1-year all-cause mortality (ACM) and the secondary end point mean acute cellular rejection (ACR) grade within the first postoperative year.
This study includes a total 140 HTx recipients (median age: 53.5 years; males: 80%; donor/recipient gender mismatch: 38.3%; mean length of in-hospital stay: 34 days; mean donor age: 41 years). Multidisciplinary care was implemented in 2008, 66 HTx recipients had operation in 2000-07 and 74 patients had HTx thereafter (2008-14). Non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy was more prevalent in HTx recipients of 2000-07 (63.6 vs 43.2%; P = 0.024). Pre-transplant mechanical circulatory support was more frequent in 2008-14 (9.1 vs 24.3%; P = 0.030). Groups were not different for pre-transplant cardiovascular risk factors or other comorbidity, invasive haemodynamics or echocardiographic parameters. In-hospital and 1-year ACM were numerically lower in 2008-14 (16.2 vs 22.2%; 18.9% vs 25.8%; P = 0.47/0.47, respectively). In 2000-07, pre-transplant weight and diabetes mellitus predicted in-hospital ACM (odds ratio -0.14, P = 0.02; OR 5.24, P = 0.01, respectively) while post-transplant length of in-hospital stay was related with in-hospital ACM (odds ratio -0.10; P = 0.016) and 1-year ACM (odds ratio -0.07; P = 0.007). In 2000-07, the mean grade of ACR within the first postoperative year was higher (0.65 vs 0.20; P < 0.0001) and ≥moderate ACR was associated with in-hospital mortality (χ2 = 3.92; P = 0.048).
Multidisciplinary care in HTx compensates post-transplant risk associated with pre-transplant disease and has beneficial impact on the incidence of ACR and ACR-associated early mortality.
