Postoperative Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a high risk of cardiovascular disease that could potentially increase postoperative major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We determined the rate of MACE in patients with SLE undergoing noncardiac surgery using national claims-based data.

This was a retrospective cohort study using Optum Clinformatics Data Mart from 2007 to 2020. We identified a cohort of patients with SLE who had undergone noncardiac surgeries using Current Procedural Terminology codes.
