Preoperative Identification of Patient-Dependent Blood Pressure Targets Associated With Low Risk of Intraoperative Hypotension During Noncardiac Surgery

Anesth AnalgPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

We demonstrate that IOH risk specific to a given MAP is patient-dependent, but predictable before surgery.

Study context

Population
Adult noncardiac surgeries under GA at 2 tertiary care hospitals of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Participants
166,091 surgeries
Exposure
Training vs Validation
  • Trainingn = 121,032
  • Validationn = 45,059
Outcome
Hypotension risk per intraoperative MAP value 65–100 mm Hg: proportion of measurements followed by ≥1 MAP <65 mm Hg within 5 or 10 minutes
Methodological detailsprediction model development and validation, 2 tertiary care hospitals
  • Prediction model development and validation
  • 2 tertiary care hospitals

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Exponential with theta constant model best fit (weighted sum of squared error)
0.0005
Mean squared error of hypotension risk per MAP in validation did not exceed
0.01%
Low-risk MAP targets range by subgroup and benchmark
69 and 90 mm Hg
Subgroups with ≥21 eligible proportions (CI <0.05)
Thirty-six
Increased age, higher ASA physical status and female sex independently predicted risk curves with less rapid decay and higher plateaus
P < .05

Observational data: associations, not effects.
