Preoperative LDL-C and major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after non-cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Study objective

To determine whether preoperative LDL-C concentration affects the risk of perioperative major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after noncardiac surgery.

Design

Single center retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Hospital (including medical and surgical floor, intensive care unit) and patient disposition location (including the patient's home or any other receiving facility).

Patients

43,348 non-cardiac surgeries at NYU Langone Health between January 2016 and September 2020.

Interventions

Patients were grouped based on preoperative LDL-C.

Measurements

Complete serum lipid panel obtained within one year prior to the date of noncardiac surgery and rate of perioperative MACCE, defined as a composite of in-hospital
