Key result
Previous cardiac illness (P=0.045), elevated urea (P<0.001), and bowel involvement independently increased perioperative mortality in acute mesenteric ischemia, while intestinal resection was protective (P<0.001).
Observational (n=132)
No
Previous cardiac illness, acute renal failure (elevated urea), and large bowel ischemia are independent risk factors for perioperative mortality in patients undergoing surgery for acute mesenteric ischemia.

Supports risk stratification in surgical AMI; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before clinical adoption.
Acosta‐Mérida et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Acute mesenteric ischemia (n=132). Clinical and laboratory risk factors (e.g., previous cardiac illness, elevated urea, bowel involvement) vs. Absence of respective risk factors was evaluated on Perioperative mortality. Previous cardiac illness (P=0.045), elevated urea (P<0.001), and bowel involvement independently increased perioperative mortality in acute mesenteric ischemia, while intestinal resection was protective (P<0.001).
