Background: The effect of delayed ambulation on the outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains to be clarified.Methods and Results: The long-term and in-hospital outcomes of 887 patients who underwent isolated CABG (455 off-pump cases, 135 urgent cases) were evaluated, with a focus on the timing of first ambulation. In-hospital mortality cases were excluded. Early ambulation (first ambulation within 3 days after operation) was achieved in 339 (38%) patients. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, longer operation time and urgent case, EuroSCORE II, re-thoracotomy, and respiratory time were associated with delayed (≥4 days) ambulation. Delayed ambulation was associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications, such as pneumonia, and stroke (P<0.01). Following discharge, 22.2% of patients experienced major cardiac events and 13.8% died during the follow-up period (median follow-up 60 months). Cox hazards analysis revealed that delayed ambulation was associated with long-term adverse events (hazard ratio 1.04 per day, P<0.001). With adjustment for preoperative factors, the estimated future risk of adverse events was found to be increased day-by-day during the delay until initial ambulation.Conclusions: In isolated CABG patients, delayed ambulation was associated with poor outcomes, even in the long-term period. The results support the current guideline recommending early ambulation protocol after cardiac surgery.
