Association between anesthetics and the postoperative pneumonia risk in patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: an analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a common complication in surgical patients. The choice of anesthetic may affect POP in patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study aims to identify a key anesthetic as an independent predictor for POP risk in patients with non-traumatic SAH.

Methods

This retrospective study utilized data from the MIMIC-IV database spanning the period from 2008 to 2019. First, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, decision curve analysis, and factor importance analysis were conducted to determine which anesthetic was more effective and important in predicting POP in patients with non-traumatic SAH. Second, three different multivariate logistic regression models were established to investigate the associatio
