Determinants of postoperative complications in high-risk noncardiac surgery patients optimized with hemodynamic treatment strategies: A post-hoc analysis of a randomized multicenter clinical trial

J Clin AnesthPublished Post-hoc analysis of the OPHIQUE randomised multicentre trial

Authors' conclusion

Surgical complications, a lower preoperative hemoglobin concentration, age, and vascular surgery were associated with postoperative complications in a high-risk noncardiac surgery population supported with hemodynamic treatment strategies.
