Association between Preoperative Blood Pressures and Postoperative Adverse Events.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between postoperative adverse events and blood pressures in the preoperative period remains poorly understood. This study tested the hypothesis that day-of-surgery preoperative blood pressures are associated with postoperative adverse events.

Methods

The authors conducted a retrospective, observational study of adult patients having elective procedures requiring an inpatient stay between November 2017 and July 2021 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to examine the independent associations between preoperative systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) recorded immediately before anesthesia care and number of postoperative adverse events-myocardial injury, stroke, acute kidney injury, and mortality-while adjusting for potential confound
