Why the study?
Can a simple index predict cardiac risk in stable patients undergoing nonurgent major noncardiac surgery?
Can a simple index predict cardiac risk in stable patients undergoing nonurgent major noncardiac surgery?
A simple index can identify stable patients at higher risk for cardiac complications during nonurgent major noncardiac surgery, aiding in risk stratification.
