Key result
Intraoperative hypotension was significantly more frequent in low-risk noncardiac surgery patients who experienced perioperative myocardial infarction compared to matched controls (70% vs 28%, P=0.002).
Why the study?
Is intraoperative hypotension associated with perioperative myocardial infarction in low-risk patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Case-Control (n=60)
Is intraoperative hypotension associated with perioperative myocardial infarction in low-risk patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Absolute Event Rate: 70% vs 28%
p-value: p=0.002
Intraoperative hypotension is significantly associated with an increased risk of perioperative myocardial infarction and death in low-risk patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Intraoperative hypotension was associated with perioperative MI; hypothesis-generating and leaves open whether avoidance reduces risk.
Barone et al. (2002) conducted a case-control in Perioperative myocardial infarction (n=60). Intraoperative hypotension vs. Matched controls without perioperative MI was evaluated on Intraoperative hypotension (p=0.002). Intraoperative hypotension was significantly more frequent in low-risk noncardiac surgery patients who experienced perioperative myocardial infarction compared to matched controls (70% vs 28%, P=0.002).
