Abstract
Study objective
To determine whether preoperative LDL-C concentration affects the risk of perioperative major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after noncardiac surgery.
Design
Single center retrospective cohort study.
Setting
Hospital (including medical and surgical floor, intensive care unit) and patient disposition location (including the patient's home or any other receiving facility).
Patients
43,348 non-cardiac surgeries at NYU Langone Health between January 2016 and September 2020.
Interventions
Patients were grouped based on preoperative LDL-C.
Measurements
Complete serum lipid panel obtained within one year prior to the date of noncardiac surgery and rate of perioperative MACCE, defined as a composite of in-hospital non-fatal myocardial infarction, in-hospital acute ischemic stroke, myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, and death from any cause within 30 days of surgery.
Main results
Perioperative MACCE occurred in 1093 patients (2.5 %) overall. After multivariable adjustment, odds of MACCE were significantly lower in patients with higher (≥100 mg/dL) versus lower (<100 mg/dL) LDL-C (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.783, 95 % CI, 0.660–0.926]).
Conclusions
In a large cohort of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery at a major academic health system in New York City, lower LDL-C concentrations were not associated with a lower incidence of perioperative MACCE. Further investigation into modifiable perioperative cardiovascular risk factors is needed to improve perioperative outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
