Key result
The Revised Cardiac Risk Index demonstrated moderate sensitivity (59-71%) and high negative predictive value (>98%) for 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events across all age groups.
Why the study?
Does the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) accurately predict 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events across different age groups in patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery?

Supports RCRI use to rule out MACE across ages in elective surgery; extends validation but leaves open need for prospective refinement.

Does the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) accurately predict 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events across different age groups in patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery?
The Revised Cardiac Risk Index maintains moderate sensitivity and high negative predictive value for predicting 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events across all age groups in unselected patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery.
Andersson et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Elective noncardiac surgery (n=447,352). Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) was evaluated on 30-day risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular death). The Revised Cardiac Risk Index demonstrated moderate sensitivity (59-71%) and high negative predictive value (>98%) for 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events across all age groups.
