Frailty Assessment and Perioperative Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events After Noncardiac Surgery - 21/03/23

Abstract |
Objective |
Frailty is an emerging risk factor for adverse outcomes. However, perioperative frailty assessments derived from electronic health records have not been studied on a large scale. We aim to estimate the prevalence of frailty and the associated incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among adults hospitalized for noncardiac surgery.
Methods |
Adults aged ≥45 years hospitalized for noncardiac surgery from 2004-2014 were identified from the National Inpatient Sample. The validated Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) derived from International Classification of Diseases codes was used to classify patients as low (HFRS <5), medium (5-10), or high (>10) frailty risk. The primary outcome was MACE, defined as myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and in-hospital mortality. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the adjusted odds of MACE stratified by age and HFRS.
Results |
A total of 55,349,978 hospitalizations were identified, of which 81.0%, 14.4%, and 4.6% had low, medium, and high HFRS, respectively. Patients with higher HFRS had more cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. MACE occurred during 2.5% of surgical hospitalizations and was common among patients with high frailty scores (high HFRS: 9.1%, medium: 6.9%, low: 1.3%, P < .001). Medium (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.02-2.08) and high (aOR 2.75; 95% CI, 2.70-2.79) HFRS were associated with greater odds of MACE vs low HFRS, with the greatest odds of MACE observed in younger individuals 45-64 years (interaction P value < .001).
Conclusions |
The HFRS may identify frail surgical inpatients at risk for adverse perioperative cardiovascular outcomes.
