ABSTRACT: Background
Oxygen demand-supply mismatch is supposed to be one of the major causes of myocardial injuries after noncardiac surgery (MINS). Impaired tissue oxygenation during the surgery can lead to intraoperative hyperlactatemia. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative lactate level and MINS.Methods
A total of 1905 patients divided into groups according to intraoperative hyperlactatemia: 1444 patients (75.8%) into normal (≤2.2 mmol/L) and 461 patients (24.2%) into hyperlactatemia (>2.2 mmol/L) groups. The primary outcome was the incidence of MINS, and all-cause mortality within 30 days was compared.Results
In the crude population, the risks for MINS and 30-day mortality were higher for the hyperlactatemia group than the normal group (17.7% vs. 37.7%, odds ratio [OR]: 2.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.24-3.56, p < 0.001 and 0.8% vs. 4.8%, hazard ratio [HR]: 5.86, 95% CI: 2.9-12.84, p < 0.001, respectively). In 365 propensity score-matched pairs, intraoperative hyperlactatemia was consistently associated with MINS and 30-day mortality (21.6% vs. 31.8%, OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.21-1.36, p = 0.002 and 1.1% vs. 3.8%, HR: 3.55, 95% CI: 1.71-10.79, p < 0.03, respectively).Conclusion
Intraoperative lactate elevation was associated with a higher incidence of MINS and 30-day mortality.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the long-lasting notion about the substantial contribution of intraoperative un-stabilization of homeostasis factors on the incidence on acute kidney injury (AKI), the possible influence of intraoperative glucose or lactate management, as a modifiable factor, on the development of AKI remains inconclusive.ObjectivesTo investigated the relationship between intraoperative hyperglycemia, hyperlactatemia, and postoperative AKI in cardiac surgery.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among 4,435 adult patients who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery from July 2019 to March 2022. Intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were defined as blood glucose levels >10 mmol/L and lactate levels >2 mmol/L, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI. All statistical analyses, including t tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, chi-square tests, Fisher's exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, logistic regression models, subgroup analyses, collinearity analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis, were performed using the statistical software program R version 4.1.1.ResultsAmong the 4,435 patients in the final analysis, a total of 734 (16.55%) patients developed AKI after on-pump cardiac surgery. All studied intraoperative metabolic disorders was associated with increased AKI risk, with most pronounced odds ratio (OR) noted for both hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were present intraoperatively [adjusted OR 3.69, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 2.68-5.13, p < 0.001]. Even when hyperglycemia or hyperlactatemia was present alone, the risk of postoperative AKI remained elevated (adjusted OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.50-2.60, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe presence of intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia may be associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Proper and timely interventions for these metabolic disorders are crucially important in mitigating the risk of AKI.

Project description:Background Perioperative blood glucose level has shown an association with postoperative outcomes. We compared the incidences of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) and 30-day mortality, according to preoperative blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Methods and Results The patients were divided according to blood glucose level within 1 day before surgery. The hyperglycemia group was defined with fasting glucose >140 mg/dL or random glucose >180 mg/dL. In addition, we compared the outcomes according to HbA1c >6.5% among patients with available HbA1c within 3 months before surgery. The primary outcome was MINS, and 30-day mortality was also compared. A total of 12 304 patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: 8324 (67.7%) in the normal group and 3980 (32.3%) in the hyperglycemia group. After adjustment with inverse probability of weighting, the hyperglycemia group exhibited significantly higher incidences of MINS and 30-day mortality (18.7% versus 27.6%; odds ratio, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.18-1.42; P<0.001; and 2.0% versus 5.1%; hazard ratio, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.61-2.49; P<0.001, respectively). In contrast to blood glucose, HbA1c was not associated with MINS or 30-day mortality. Conclusions Preoperative hyperglycemia was associated with MINS and 30-day mortality, whereas HbA1c was not. Immediate glucose control may be more crucial than long-term glucose control in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Registration URL: https://www.cris.nih.go.kr; Unique identifier: KCT0004244.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin elevation during the perioperative period is associated with poor clinical outcome in revascularized coronary patients who undergo noncardiac surgery remains unclear. We investigated the effects of perioperative troponin elevation on the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with a history of coronary revascularization. METHODS:We analyzed patients whose pre- or postoperative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay results were available. Patients were divided into two groups according to hs-cTnI levels. The patient groups were analyzed separately according to whether hs-cTnI was assessed preoperatively or postoperatively. The primary outcome was all-cause death during the follow-up period. RESULTS:Median follow-up duration was 25 months (interquartile range 11-50). In the propensity-matched analysis, the risk of all-cause death during follow-up was higher in the group with elevated hs-cTnI group than in the normal group (12.7% vs 6.3%; hazard ratio [HR], 2.67; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.04-6.82; p = 0.04). In the propensity-matched analysis of preoperative hs-cTnI levels, we found no significant difference between the groups in the rate of all-cause death (12.9% vs. 11.9%; HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.45-2.50; p = 0.89). In the postoperative propensity-matched analysis, all-cause death was higher in patients with elevated hs-cTnI than in those with normal levels (14.9% vs. 5.9%; HR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.01-7.77; p = 0.048). CONCLUSION:In revascularized coronary patients who underwent noncardiac surgery, postoperative (but not preoperative) hs-cTnI elevation was associated with all-cause death during follow-up. Larger datasets are needed to support this finding.

Project description:Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is a common postoperative complication associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the incidence, clinical features, pathogenesis, management, and outcomes of MINS. We searched PubMed, Embase, Central and Web of Science databases for studies reporting the incidence, clinical features, and prognosis of MINS. Data analysis was performed with a mixed-methods approach, with quantitative analysis of meta-analytic methods for incidence, management, and outcomes, and a qualitative synthesis of the literature to determine associated preoperative factors and MINS pathogenesis. A total of 195 studies met study inclusion criteria. Among 169 studies reporting outcomes of 530,867 surgeries, the pooled incidence of MINS was 17.9% [95% confidence interval (CI), 16.2-19.6%]. Patients with MINS were older, more frequently men, and more likely to have cardiovascular risk factors and known coronary artery disease. Postoperative mortality was higher among patients with MINS than those without MINS, both in-hospital (8.1%, 95% CI, 4.4-12.7% vs 0.4%, 95% CI, 0.2-0.7%; relative risk 8.3, 95% CI, 4.2-16.6, P < 0.001) and at 1-year after surgery (20.6%, 95% CI, 15.9-25.7% vs 5.1%, 95% CI, 3.2-7.4%; relative risk 4.1, 95% CI, 3.0-5.6, P < 0.001). Few studies reported mechanisms of MINS or the medical treatment provided. In conclusion, MINS occurs frequently in clinical practice, is most common in patients with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, and is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality. Additional investigation is needed to define strategies to prevent MINS and treat patients with this diagnosis.

Project description:BackgroundThe time-sensitive hazard of perioperative cardiac troponin T (cTnT) elevation and whether long-term mortality differs by mechanism of myocardial injury are poorly understood.Methods and resultsIn this observational study of 12 882 patients who underwent noncardiac vascular surgery, patients were assessed for cTnT sampling within 96 hours postoperatively. Mortality out to 5-years was stratified by cTnT level and mechanism of myocardial injury. During a median follow-up of 26.9 months, there were 2149 (16.7%) deaths. By multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis, there was a graded increase in mortality with any detectable cTnT compared to <0.01 ng/mL; cTnT 0.01 to 0.029 ng/mL hazard ratio (HR) 1.54 (95% CI 1.18-2.00, P=0.002), 0.03 to 0.099 ng/mL HR 1.86 (95% CI 1.49-2.31, P<0.001), 0.10 to 0.399 ng/mL HR 1.83 (95% CI 1.46-2.31, P<0.001), ?0.40 ng/mL HR 2.62 (95% CI 2.06-3.32, P<0.001). Mortality for each mechanism of injury was greater than for patients with normal cTnT; baseline cTnT elevation HR 1.71 (95% CI 1.31-2.24; P<0.001), Type 2 myocardial infarction HR 1.88 (95% CI 1.57-2.24; P<0.001), Type 1 MI HR 2.56 (95% CI 2.56, 1.82-3.60; P<0.001). On Kaplan-Meier analysis, long-term survival did not differ between mechanisms. The hazard of mortality was greatest within the first 10 months postsurgery. Consistent results were obtained in confirmatory propensity-score matched analyses.ConclusionsAny detectable cTnT ?0.01 ng/mL is associated with increased long-term mortality after vascular surgery. This risk is greatest within the first 10 months postoperatively. While short-term mortality is greatest with Type 1 myocardial infarction, long-term mortality appears independent of the mechanism of injury.

Project description:Importance:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications after noncardiac surgery. Yet current postoperative AKI risk stratification models have substantial limitations, such as limited use of perioperative data. Objective:To examine whether adding preoperative and intraoperative data is associated with improved prediction of noncardiac postoperative AKI. Design, Setting, and Participants:A prognostic study using logistic regression with elastic net selection, gradient boosting machine (GBM), and random forest approaches was conducted at 4 tertiary academic hospitals in the United States. A total of 42?615 hospitalized adults with serum creatinine measurements who underwent major noncardiac surgery between January 1, 2014, and April 30, 2018, were included in the study. Serum creatinine measurements from 365 days before and 7 days after surgery were used in this study. Main Outcomes and Measures:Postoperative AKI (defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes within 7 days after surgery) was the primary outcome. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess discrimination. Results:Among 42?615 patients who underwent noncardiac surgery, the mean (SD) age was 57.9 (15.7) years, 23?943 (56.2%) were women, 27?857 (65.4%) were white, and the most frequent surgery types were orthopedic (15?718 [36.9%]), general (8808 [20.7%]), and neurologic (6564 [15.4%]). The rate of postoperative AKI was 10.1% (n?=?4318). The progressive addition of clinical data improved model performance across all modeling approaches, with GBM providing the highest discrimination by AUC. In GBM models, the AUC increased from 0.712 (95% CI, 0.694-0.731) using prehospitalization variables to 0.804 (95% CI, 0.788-0.819) using preoperative variables (inclusive of prehospitalization variables) (P?<?.001 for AUC comparison). The AUC further increased to 0.817 (95% CI, 0.802-0.832) when adding intraoperative variables (P?<?.001 for comparison vs model using preoperative variables). However, the statistically significant improvements in discrimination did not appear to be clinically significant. In particular, the AKI rate among patients classified as high risk improved from 29.1% to 30.0%, a net of 15 patients were appropriately reclassified as high risk, and an additional 15 patients were appropriately reclassified as low risk. Conclusions and Relevance:The findings of the study suggest that electronic health record data may be used to accurately stratify patients at risk of perioperative AKI, but the modest improvements from adding intraoperative data should be weighed against challenges in using intraoperative data.

Project description:BackgroundThe optimal intraoperative blood pressure range and crystalloid administration protocol for the prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) after elective noncardiac surgery remain unknown.MethodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study included 6296 patients aged ≥ 50 years who had undergone elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia. We evaluated the relationship between duration of intraoperative hypotension and AKI. To assess whether the effects of crystalloid administration differed according to baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), we examined the interaction between intraoperative crystalloid administration and eGFR. We calculated univariable and multivariable adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the prevalence of AKI.ResultsAKI occurred in 431 (6.8%) patients and was associated with intraoperative hypotension. Effects of intraoperative crystalloid administration differed significantly according to baseline eGFR. Increased risk of AKI was noted in patients with eGFR ≤45 ml min-1 1.73m-2 who were managed with restrictive or liberal crystalloid administration [OR 4.79 (95% CI 3.10 to 7.32) and 6.43 (95% CI 2.23 to 16.03), respectively] as opposed to those with eGFR >45 ml min-1 1.73m-2 who were managed with moderately restrictive crystalloid administration.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that anesthesiologists should avoid intraoperative hypotension as well as either restrictive or liberal (as opposed to moderately restrictive) crystalloid administration in patients with decreased eGFR. Intraoperative blood pressure and crystalloid administration protocol are major modifiable factors that must be optimized to prevent postoperative AKI.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is a mostly asymptomatic condition that is strongly associated with 30-day mortality; however, it remains mostly undetected without systematic troponin T monitoring. We evaluated the cost and consequences of postoperative troponin T monitoring to detect MINS. METHODS:We conducted a model-based cost-consequence analysis to compare the impact of routine troponin T monitoring versus standard care (troponin T measurement triggered by ischemic symptoms) on the incidence of MINS detection. Model inputs were based on Canadian patients enrolled in the Vascular Events in Noncardiac Surgery Patients Cohort Evaluation (VISION) study, which enrolled patients aged 45 years or older undergoing inpatient noncardiac surgery. We conducted probability analyses with 10?000 iterations and extensive sensitivity analyses. RESULTS:The data were based on 6021 patients (48% men, mean age 65 [standard deviation 12] yr). The 30-day mortality rate for MINS was 9.6%. We determined the incremental cost to avoid missing a MINS event as $1632 (2015 Canadian dollars). The cost-effectiveness of troponin monitoring was higher in patient subgroups at higher risk for MINS, e.g., those aged 65 years or more, or with a history of atherosclerosis or diabetes ($1309). CONCLUSION:The costs associated with a troponin T monitoring program to detect MINS were moderate. Based on the estimated incremental cost per health gain, implementation of postoperative troponin T monitoring seems appealing, particularly in patients at high risk for MINS.

Project description:BackgroundThe association between intraoperative cardiovascular changes and perioperative myocardial injury has chiefly focused on hypotension during noncardiac surgery. However, the relative influence of blood pressure and heart rate (HR) remains unclear. We investigated both individual and codependent relationships among intraoperative HR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS).MethodsSecondary analysis of the Vascular Events in Noncardiac Surgery Cohort Evaluation (VISION) study, a prospective international cohort study of noncardiac surgical patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis tested for associations between intraoperative HR and/or SBP and MINS, defined by an elevated serum troponin T adjudicated as due to an ischemic etiology, within 30 days after surgery. Predefined thresholds for intraoperative HR and SBP were: maximum HR >100 beats or minimum HR <55 beats per minute (bpm); maximum SBP >160 mm Hg or minimum SBP <100 mm Hg. Secondary outcomes were myocardial infarction and mortality within 30 days after surgery.ResultsAfter excluding missing data, 1197 of 15,109 patients (7.9%) sustained MINS, 454 of 16,031 (2.8%) sustained myocardial infarction, and 315 of 16,061 patients (2.0%) died within 30 days after surgery. Maximum intraoperative HR >100 bpm was associated with MINS (odds ratio [OR], 1.27 [1.07-1.50]; P < .01), myocardial infarction (OR, 1.34 [1.05-1.70]; P = .02), and mortality (OR, 2.65 [2.06-3.41]; P < .01). Minimum SBP <100 mm Hg was associated with MINS (OR, 1.21 [1.05-1.39]; P = .01) and mortality (OR, 1.81 [1.39-2.37]; P < .01), but not myocardial infarction (OR, 1.21 [0.98-1.49]; P = .07). Maximum SBP >160 mm Hg was associated with MINS (OR, 1.16 [1.01-1.34]; P = .04) and myocardial infarction (OR, 1.34 [1.09-1.64]; P = .01) but, paradoxically, reduced mortality (OR, 0.76 [0.58-0.99]; P = .04). Minimum HR <55 bpm was associated with reduced MINS (OR, 0.70 [0.59-0.82]; P < .01), myocardial infarction (OR, 0.75 [0.58-0.97]; P = .03), and mortality (OR, 0.58 [0.41-0.81]; P < .01). Minimum SBP <100 mm Hg with maximum HR >100 bpm was more strongly associated with MINS (OR, 1.42 [1.15-1.76]; P < .01) compared with minimum SBP <100 mm Hg alone (OR, 1.20 [1.03-1.40]; P = .02).ConclusionsIntraoperative tachycardia and hypotension are associated with MINS. Further interventional research targeting HR/blood pressure is needed to define the optimum strategy to reduce MINS.

Project description:Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) is a common cardiac complication. Recent guidelines recommend its systematic screening using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn). However, there is limited evidence of local screening programs. We conducted a prospective, single-center study aimed at assessing the feasibility and outcomes of implementing systematic PMI screening. Hs-cTn concentrations were measured before and after surgery. PMI was defined as a postoperative hs-cTnT of ≥14 ng/L, exceeding the preoperative value by 50%. All patients were followed-up during the hospitalization, at one month and one year after surgery. The primary outcome was the incidence of death and major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The secondary outcomes focused on the individual components of MACCE. We included two-thirds of all eligible high-risk patients and achieved almost complete compliance with follow-ups. The prevalence of PMI was 15.7%, suggesting a higher presence of cardiovascular (CV) antecedents, increased perioperative CV complications, and higher preoperative hs-cTnT values. The all-cause death rate was 1.7% in the first month, increasing up to 11.2% at one year. The incidence of MACCE was 9.5% and 8.6% at the same time points. Given the observed elevated frequencies of PMI and MACCE, implementing systematic PMI screening is recommendable, particularly in patients with increased cardiovascular risk. However, it is important to acknowledge that achieving optimal screening implementation comes with various challenges and complexities.
