Diabetes complications

Association and predictive ability between significant perioperative cardiovascular adverse events and stress glucose rise in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The SHR was related with an increased risk of perioperative MACEs in patients following noncardiac surgery, highlighting its potential as a useful and reliable predictive tool for assessing the risk of perioperative MACEs.

Study context

Population
Patients (diabetic and non-diabetic) undergoing noncardiac surgery 2011–2020, perioperative medicine database (INSPIRE 1.1)
Participants
5,609 patients
Exposure
Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) tertiles; incremental predictive value of SHR for perioperative MACE
Outcome
Major perioperative adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs)
Follow-up
Perioperative
Methodological detailsSHR tertiles, Cox proportional hazards regression, restricted cubic spline, Boruta algorithm and machine learning
  • SHR tertiles
