Morbidity and Mortality After Acute Myocardial Infarction After Elective Major Noncardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop parsimonious models of in-hospital mortality and morbidity risk after perioperative acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Design

Retrospective data analysis.

Setting

National Inpatient Sample (2008-2013), a 20% sample of all non-federal in-patient hospitalizations in the United States.

Participants

Patients 45 years or older who experienced perioperative AMI during elective admission for noncardiac surgery.

Interventions

The study used a mixed principal components analysis and multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality after perioperative AMI. A model incorporating only preoperative risk factors, defined by the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), was compared with a "full risk factor" model, inco
