Key result
Moderate-to-severe hypertension (OR 3.54), renal impairment (OR 2.69), and blood transfusion requirements (OR 1.26) were independently associated with increased peri-operative mortality.

These risk factors support peri-operative risk stratification; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce mortality in aortic surgery.

What are the risk factors associated with peri-operative mortality and long-term survival in patients undergoing abdominal aortic reconstructive surgery?
Odds Ratio: 3.54
p-value: p=0.05
In patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic reconstructive surgery, severe hypertension, renal impairment, and blood transfusion requirements increase peri-operative mortality, while occlusive aortic disease and ischemic heart disease shorten long-term survival.
Holland et al. (1998) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic reconstructive surgery (n=252). Moderate-to-severe hypertension was evaluated on Peri-operative mortality (OR 3.54, p=0.05). Moderate-to-severe hypertension (OR 3.54), renal impairment (OR 2.69), and blood transfusion requirements (OR 1.26) were independently associated with increased peri-operative mortality.
