Key result
Blood transfusion during surgery (OR 4.578) and longer surgery time independently predicted the development of postoperative major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Do surgical parameters such as surgery time and intraoperative transfusion predict postoperative MACE in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery?
Effect estimate: OR 4.578 (95% CI 2.599-8.065)
p-value: p=<0.001
Surgical parameters, specifically longer surgery time and intraoperative blood transfusion, are strong independent predictors of 30-day postoperative MACE in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
Bae et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Non-cardiac surgery (n=1,016). Blood transfusion during surgery vs. No blood transfusion was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) within 30 days (OR 4.578, 95% CI 2.599-8.065, p=<0.001). Blood transfusion during surgery (OR 4.578) and longer surgery time independently predicted the development of postoperative major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
