Background: Several studies reported increased adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery in patients with low body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)). Little is known yet, however, about the effect of preoperative unintended weight loss (UWL) in cardiac surgery patients.Objective: We explored the prevalence and effect of UWL in view of low BMI and vice versa adjusted for a validated set of preoperative risks, inflammatory activity, and duration of extracorporeal circulation on postoperative adverse outcome.Design: A prospective cohort study was performed. Nutritional data of cardiac surgery patients were collected within 24 h of admission and linked to the standard postoperative complication registration database.Results: The cohort consisted of 331 cases. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that preoperative UWL of >= 10% in the past 6 mo (>= 10%UWLin6m) was associated with a prolonged length of stay in the hospital independent from low BMI [odds ratio (OR): 7.06; 95% CI: 1.78, 28.04]. Preoperative BMI = 10%UWLin6m (OR: 4.62; 95% CI: 1.20, 17.82; and OR: 5.27; 95% CI: 1.28, 21.76, respectively). Preoperative undernutrition in cardiac surgery patients (>= 10% UWL in6m or BMI :5 21.0 or both) was present in 9.1 % of the study population (4.3% and 4.8%, respectively).Conclusions: From this study, we recommend special attention for cardiac surgery patients with preoperative >= 10%UWLin6m or BMI
