Key result
In patients undergoing elective noncardiac vascular surgery, 30-day mortality was 6.2%, and a novel risk model (CAPTA score) predicted mortality with an AUROC of 0.882.
Why the study?
Patients undergoing noncardiac vascular surgery often have comorbidities increasing death risk, making accurate risk assessment critical to allocate resources and improve quality of care.
Cohort (n=306)
No
Age, peripheral arterial disease, chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, and intraoperative RBC transfusion independently predict 30-day mortality after elective vascular surgery, with the V-POSSUM score outperforming other standard risk scores.

May aid preoperative risk stratification in vascular surgery; leaves open external validation against existing scores.
Reis et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Noncardiac vascular surgery (n=306). Risk factors (Age, PAD, CKD, atrial fibrillation, intraoperative RBC transfusion) was evaluated on 30-day post-operative mortality (POM). In patients undergoing elective noncardiac vascular surgery, 30-day mortality was 6.2%, and a novel risk model (CAPTA score) predicted mortality with an AUROC of 0.882.
