The Saudi CABG Audit and Registry (SCAR) is a prospective, multicenter national clinical quality registry designed to systematically collect perioperative and long-term outcome data for all patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Saudi Arabia. The registry will begin with a pilot phase in selected tertiary cardiac centers and will progressively expand to national coverage. SCAR captures detailed information on patient demographics, cardiac status, operative techniques, postoperative outcomes, and 1-year follow-up, including patient-reported quality-of-life measures (EQ-5D and SF-36). The aim is to establish a standardized national platform for benchmarking, quality improvement, and real-world evidence generation to support clinical decision-making and health policy development in cardiac surgery. Data are collected prospectively through secure electronic systems, anonymized before central storage, and analyzed using standardized definitions aligned with international registries such as STS and E-CABG.

| Prospective Clinical Data Collection | Other | The intervention consists of systematic, prospective collection of standardized clinical, operative, and follow-up data for all adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at participating centers. Data are recorded across predefined time points, including preoperative assessment, intraoperative details, postoperative in-hospital outcomes, and follow-up at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Variables include demographics, comorbidities, cardiac status, operative technique, complications, readmissions, mortality, and patient-reported quality-of-life measures (EQ-5D and SF-36). No treatments are assigned. The registry functions solely as an observational platform for quality improvement, benchmarking, and long-term outcome monitoring. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of In-hospital mortality | In-hospital all-cause mortality following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), recorded from the time of surgery until discharge. Mortality will be determined using standardized definitions aligned with major cardiac surgery registries such as STS and E-CABG. | From date of surgery through hospital discharge, an average of 7-10 days. |
| Incidence of 30-day major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) | Composite endpoint including 30-day all-cause mortality, stroke, and myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Event definitions follow standardized criteria used in major cardiac surgery registries, including STS and E-CABG. | 30 days post-surgery |
| Incidence of Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) | Incidence of deep sternal wound infection following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), defined according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria. Includes infections involving muscle, bone, or mediastinum requiring surgical intervention, antibiotics, or drainage. | From surgery until 30 days post-operation |
| Unplanned reoperation for bleeding, tamponade, or graft-related technical failure | Incidence of unplanned return to the operating room after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to postoperative bleeding, cardiac tamponade, or graft-related technical failure. Events follow standardized definitions aligned with international cardiac surgery registries. | Perioperative/Periprocedural |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay | Duration of postoperative stay in the intensive care unit following CABG surgery, measured in hours or days. Includes all ICU readmissions during the index hospitalization. | From the date of surgery through initial ICU discharge (average of 3-5 days). |
| Total hospital length of stay |

Duration of hospitalization from the day of surgery until discharge, measured in days. Includes all in-hospital recovery time after CABG. |
| From the date of surgery through hospital discharge (average of 7-10 days). |
| Duration of mechanical ventilation | Total time on postoperative mechanical ventilation following CABG surgery, measured in hours. Includes any episodes of re-intubation requiring ventilatory support. | From completion of surgery through extubation, an average of 12-24 hours |
| Incidence of 30-day readmission | Incidence of all-cause hospital readmission occurring within 30 days of discharge after CABG surgery. | Within 30 days post-discharge |
| Number of Participants with Post Operative Acute kidney injury (AKI) | Occurrence of acute kidney injury following CABG, defined according to KDIGO criteria (increase in serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 hours, ≥1.5× baseline within 7 days, or urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours). | From date of surgery through hospital discharge, an average of 7-10 days. |
| Incidence of New renal replacement therapy Initiation | Initiation of postoperative renal replacement therapy (intermittent dialysis or continuous renal replacement therapy) that was not required preoperatively. | From date of surgery through hospital discharge, an average of 7-10 days. |
| Number of Participants with post operative New-onset atrial fibrillation | Incidence of atrial fibrillation requiring medical or procedural intervention following CABG, documented on electrocardiography or continuous telemetry. | From date of surgery through hospital discharge, an average of 7-10 days. |
| Blood product utilization | Number and type of transfused blood products (red blood cells, plasma, platelets, cryoprecipitate) during and after CABG surgery. | Intraoperative through 24 hours post-surgery |
