Elevated perioperative blood pressure variability is linked to adverse outcomes after colorectal cancer surgery

Key Points

• To investigate the relationship between perioperative blood pressure variability and outcomes following colorectal cancer surgery.
• Analyzed data from patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
• Monitored blood pressure throughout the perioperative period.
• Evaluated the association between blood pressure variability and postoperative outcomes.
• Higher blood pressure variability was significantly associated with increased rates of complications (p<0.05).
• Patients with elevated variability faced longer hospital stays on average by 3.5 days (95% CI: 1.2-5.8 days, p=0.01).
• No significant difference in mortality was observed, but adverse events were notably higher in the variability group.
