Incidence and risk factors of postoperative acute myocardial injury in noncardiac patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postoperative myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery is common and is associated with short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. However, the incidence and risk factors for postoperative acute myocardial injury (POAMI) are currently unknown due to inconsistent definitions.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed and Web of Science to identify studies that applied the change value of preoperative and postoperative cardiac troponins to define cardiac injury. We estimated the pooled incidence, risk factors, and 30-day and long-term mortality of POAMI in noncardiac patients. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42023401607.

Results

Ten cohorts containing 11,494 patients were included for analysis. The pooled incidence of POAMI was 20%
