Coronary heart disease increases the risk of perioperative ischemic stroke after noncardiac surgery: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association between coronary heart disease (CHD) and the risk of perioperative ischemic stroke in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Methods

This retrospective study evaluated the incidence of ischemic stroke within 30 days after a noncardiac surgery. A cohort of 221,541 patients who underwent noncardiac surgery between January 2008 and August 2019 was segregated according to whether they were diagnosed with CHD. Primary, sensitivity, and subgroup logistic regression analyses were conducted to confirm that CHD is an independent risk factor for perioperative ischemic stroke. Propensity score matching analysis was used to account for the potential residual confounding effect of covariates.

Results

Among the 221,541 included patients und
