N2 - Objective Several serum biomarkers have been investigated for their potential as diagnostic tools in aortic disease; however, no study has investigated the association between serum biomarkers and outcomes after aortic surgery. This study explored the predictive ability of serum soluble lumican in postoperative outcomes after aortic surgery. Methods In total, 58 patients receiving aortic surgery for aortic dissection or aneurysm at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan in December 2011-September 2018 were enrolled. Blood samples were collected immediately upon patients' arrival in the intensive care unit after aortic surgery. The diagnostic properties of soluble lumican levels were assessed by performing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The confidence interval (CI) of the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was measured using DeLong's nonparametric method and the optimal cutoff was determined using the Youden index. Results The serum soluble lumican level distinguished prolonged ventilation (AUC, 73.5%; 95% CI, 57.7%-89.3%) and hospital stay for >30 days (AUC, 78.2%; 95% CI, 61.6%-94.7%). The optimal cutoffs of prolonged ventilation and hospital stay for >30 days were 1.547 and 5.992 ng/mL, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were respectively 100% (95% CI, 71.5%-100%) and 40.4% (95% CI, 26.4%-55.7%) for prolonged ventilation and 58% (95% 27.7%-84.8%) and 91.3% (95% CI, 79.2%-97.6%) for hospital stay for >30 days. Conclusions The serum soluble lumican level can be a potential prognostic factor for predicting poor postoperative outcomes after aortic surgery. However, more studies are warranted in the future.
