The role of right ventricular systolic pressure and ARISCAT score in perioperative pulmonary risk assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPC) are a significant source of increased morbidity and mortality after surgical procedures. Measures to enhance 30-day PPC risk stratification are an area of significant clinical interest, and integrating common preoperative investigations, such as echocardiography, may enhance quantitative risk prediction when combined with clinical score-based systems, particularly for high-risk populations. The authors hypothesized that Right Ventricular Systolic Pressure (RVSP) would significantly enhance the predictive capabilities of the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) score in the prediction of 30-day PPC in a Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) study cohort.

Methods

277 patients with the diagnosis of PH,
