Study of the Clinical Scoring System and Cytokines for Prediction of Inflammatory Response in Major Surgery

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and hepatic surgery are major operations, associated with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of clinical scoring systems and inflammatory cytokine levels for predicting systemic inflammation. This correlation might identify peri-operative clinical outcomes, then forecast further systemic inflammation in cardiac and hepatic surgical patients.
