Prognostic value of a combination of cardiac biomarkers and risk indices for major adverse cardiovascular events following non-cardiac surgery in geriatric patients: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in geriatric patients are an important cause of increased mortality and morbidity. The results of current studies regarding the predictive value of the NT-proBNP, H-FABP, and AUB-HAS2 scales for cardiovascular complications are inconsistent, and there is no relevant large sample study. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether preoperative NT-proBNP, H-FABP, and AUB-HAS2 alone or in combination can effectively predict postoperative cardiovascular complications in geriatric patients. A total of 1736 geriatric patients (aged ≥ 65 years) who were scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. AUB-HAS2 risk assessment is required for each patient, and blood was collected 1 h before surgery for the measurem
