The incidence and risk factors of perioperative cardiac complications in noncardiac major surgery in high-altitude areas: A prospective trial in Tibet autonomous region, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The risk of perioperative cardiac complications (PCCs) in patients living in high-altitude areas may increase with more adverse clinical outcomes due to the special geographical environment, which has not yet been studied. We aimed to determine the incidence and analyze risk factors for PCCs in adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery in the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Methods

This prospective cohort study enrolled resident patients from high-altitude areas receiving major noncardiac surgery in Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital in China. Perioperative clinical data were collected, and the patients were followed up until 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome was PCCs during the operation and within 30 days after the surgery.
