Clustering was performed using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) on 23 variables and hierarchical clustering, including pre-and post-anesthesia autonomic function indices and demographic and clinical data. Two distinct clusters were identified: \"Higher Risk-Responsive Group\" and \"Lower Risk-Responsive Group.\" The Higher Risk-Responsive Group cluster consisted of older patients with higher comorbidity rates and worse autonomic function. Validation of clusters through multiple correspondence analysis and Poisson regression demonstrated significant differences in postoperative outcomes. Patients in the Lower Risk-Responsive Group cluster had fewer complications (IRR = 0.441, p=0.004). The analysis indicated that intensive care unit (ICU) stay duration and the power of systolic arterial pressure series in low-frequency band derived in the post-anesthesia phase were significant predictors of complications above and beyond the expected contributions of age and comorbidities, with longer ICU stays and lower low-frequency power of systolic arterial pressure post-anesthesia induction being associated with higher complication rates.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Integrating autonomic function measures and demographic and clinical data could enhance patient monitoring and intervention, improving outcomes if included in future risk stratification tools and early warning score systems.</p><p><strong>Registration: </strong>ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03169608.</p>","PeriodicalId":93997,"journal":{"name":"European journal of cardiovascular nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
