Preemptive Pharmacogenetic-guided Metoprolol Management for PostoperativeAtrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgery

Metoprolol is frequently administered to cardiac surgery patients to reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF). Metoprolol is metabolized by the enzyme CYP2D6, which is known to have many mutations that could influence a patient's ability to metabolize the drug. In this prospective clinical trial, the investigators will determine the genotype of CYP2D6 for patients undergoing cardiac surgery, provide an altered dosing recommendation for metoprolol, then report the relative effectiveness in managing PoAF for each pharmacogenetic- guided dosing category. The investigators will also explore the effects of personalized metoprolol dosing recommendations on outcomes in hospital length of stay, cost, and provider participation.

Treatment and study plan

Guided Metoprolol Management

Other

CYP2D6 Genotyping: Consented patients will have blood drawn for genotyping prior to surgery. Patients will be classified as poor metabolizers, intermediate metabolizers, extensive (normal) metabolizers, or ultrafast metabolizers.

Pharmacogenetic- Guided Metoprolol Management: A best practice advisory will be integrated into institutional clinical decision support systems for metoprolol dosing based on metabolic status of each patient.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation

    Time frame: From the end of anesthesia up to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

    Incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation measured with post-operative electrocardiogram or rhythm strip, or at least two of the following: documentation in the progress notes, nursing notes, discharge summary, and change in medication.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of genome tailored prescription changes

    Time frame: From the end of anesthesia up to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

    Rate of genome tailored prescription changes as measured by the proportion of patients in whom metoprolol prescription is based on CYP2D6 metabolizer status.

  2. Length of hospital stay

    Time frame: From end of surgery to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

    Length of hospital stay (in days) after surgery

  3. Overall cost of treatment

    Time frame: From end of surgery to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

  4. Cost of interventions to control or treat post-operative atrial fibrillation

    Time frame: From end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

  5. Incidence of adverse drug events

    Time frame: From end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

  6. Proportion of clinical decision support tool recommendations that were acknowledged and accepted by provider

    Time frame: From end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

  7. Proportion of clinical decision support tool recommendations that were acknowledged but ignored by the provider.

    Time frame: From end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

  8. Reasons for non-adherence to recommendations

    Time frame: From end of anesthesia to hospital discharge; usually 3-4 days

    Reasons for non-adherence to recommendations; prepopulated choices including 1. clinically inappropriate recommendation 2. provider preference 3. Other (free text option).
