Wound Inflammatory Cells After Cardiac Surgery

Sternotomy Wound Clinical Trial

Official title: Wound Infammatory Cells After Cardiac Surgery and the Patients´Survival. A Sixteen Years Follow-up Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

One hundred patients, aged from 41 to 78 years, underwent open heart surgery in the years 1998-1999 and were studied by using the Cellstick device for harvesting wound inflammatory cells during the first 24 hours after surgery. The results of the differential count were computerized by using artificial neural network for obtaining wound inflammatory cell node (WICN). The patients were followed up for sixteen years or to the death. WICN values were compared with the patients´ survival.
