Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (HF) is a common clinical condition associated with adverse outcomes in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. This study aimed to estimate a clinically applicable NT-proBNP cut-off that predicts postoperative 30-day morbidity in a non-cardiac surgical cohort. METHODS One hundred ninety-nine consecutive patients older than 65 years undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery with intermediate or high surgical risk were analysed. Preoperative NT-proBNP was measured, and clinical events were assessed up to postoperative day 30. The primary endpoint was the composite morbidity endpoint (CME) consisting of rehospitalisation, acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), acute kidney injury (AKI), and infection at postoperative day 30. Secondary endpoints included perioperative fluid balance and incidence, duration, and severity of perioperative hypotension. RESULTS NT-proBNP of 443 pg/ml had the highest accuracy in predicting the composite endpoint; a clinical cut-off of 450 pg/ml was implemented to compare clinical endpoints. Although 35.2% of patients had NT-proBNP above the threshold, only 10.6% had a known history of HF. The primary endpoint was the composite morbidity endpoint (CME) consisting of rehospitalisation, acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), acute kidney injury (AKI), and infection. Event rates were significantly increased in patients with NT-proBNP > 450 pg/ml (70.7% vs. 32.4%, p < 0.001), which was due to the incidence of cardiac rehospitalisation (4.4% vs. 0%, p = 0.018), ADHF (20.1% vs. 4.0%, p < 0.001), AKI (39.8% vs. 8.3%, p < 0.001), and infection (46.3% vs. 24.4%, p < 0.01). Perioperative fluid balance and perioperative hypotension were comparable between groups. Preoperative NT-proBNP > 450 pg/ml was an independent predictor of the CME in a multivariable Cox regression model (hazard ratio 2.92 [1.72-4.94]). CONCLUSIONS Patients with NT-proBNP > 450 pg/ml exhibited profoundly increased postoperative morbidity. Further studies should focus on interdisciplinary approaches to improve outcomes through integrated interventions in the perioperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been increasing focus on the use of cardiac biomarkers in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. AIMS The aim of this focused guideline was to provide updated guidance regarding the pre-, post- and combined pre-and postoperative use of cardiac troponin and B-type natriuretic peptides in adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. METHODS The guidelines were prepared using Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. This included the definition of critical outcomes, a systematic literature search, appraisal of certainty of evidence, evaluation of biomarker measurement in terms of the balance of desirable and undesirable effects including clinical outcomes, resource use, health inequality, stakeholder acceptance, and implementation. The panel differentiated between three different scopes of applications: cardiac biomarkers as prognostic factors, as tools for risk prediction, and for biomarker-enhanced management strategies. RESULTS In a modified Delphi process, the task force defined 12 critical outcomes. The systematic literature search resulted in over 25,000 hits, of which 115 full-text articles formed the body of evidence for recommendations. The evidence appraisal indicated heterogeneity in the certainty of evidence across critical outcomes. Further, there was relevant gradient in the certainty of evidence across the three scopes of application. Recommendations were issued and if this was not possible due to limited evidence, clinical practice statements were produced. CONCLUSION The ESAIC focused guidelines provide guidance on the perioperative use of cardiac troponin and B-type natriuretic peptides in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, for three different scopes of application.

Effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on long-term survival in older patients after major noncardiac surgery: 3-year follow-up of a randomized trial. J Clin Anesth 2023; 86:111068. [PMID: 36736209 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on long-term outcomes of older patients following major noncardiac surgery mainly for cancer. DESIGN A long-term follow-up of patients enrolled in a randomized trial. SETTING The initial trial was performed in a tertiary care hospital in Beijing, China. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 60 years or older who were scheduled for major noncardiac surgery. INTERVENTION Participants were randomized to receive either dexmedetomidine (a loading dose of 0.6 μg/kg over 10 min, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.5 μg/kg/h until 1 h before end of surgery) or placebo during anesthesia. MEASUREMENTS The primary endpoint was overall survival. Secondary endpoints included recurrence-free survival and event-free survival. Cox proportional hazard models were used to adjust for predefined confounding factors. Propensity score matching was employed for sensitive analysis. RESULTS Among 620 patients who were randomized in the initial trial, 619 were included in the long-term analysis (mean age 69 years, 40% female, 77% oncological surgery). The median follow-up duration was 42 months (interquartile range 41 to 45). Overall survival did not differ between the two groups: there were 49/309 (15.9%) deaths with dexmedetomidine versus 63/310 (20.3%) with placebo (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.78, 95% CI 0.53-1.13, P = 0.187). Recurrence-free survival was improved with dexmedetomidine (68/309 [22.0%] events with dexmedetomidine versus 98/310 [31.6%] with placebo; adjusted HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.49-0.92, P = 0.012). Event-free survival was also improved with dexmedetomidine (120/309 [38.8%] events with dexmedetomidine versus 145/310 [46.8%] with placebo; adjusted HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.61-1.00, P = 0.047). Results were similar after propensity-score matching and in the subgroup of cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS In older patients having major noncardiac surgery mainly for cancer, intraoperative dexmedetomidine did not improve overall survival but was associated with improved recurrence-free and event-free survivals.

The comparative and added prognostic value of biomarkers to the Revised Cardiac Risk Index for preoperative prediction of major adverse cardiac events and all-cause mortality in patients who undergo noncardiac surgery. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2021; 12:CD013139. [PMID: 34931303 PMCID: PMC8689147 DOI: 10.1002/14651858.cd013139.pub2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is a widely acknowledged prognostic model to estimate preoperatively the probability of developing in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. However, the RCRI does not always make accurate predictions, so various studies have investigated whether biomarkers added to or compared with the RCRI could improve this. OBJECTIVES Primary: To investigate the added predictive value of biomarkers to the RCRI to preoperatively predict in-hospital MACE and other adverse outcomes in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Secondary: To investigate the prognostic value of biomarkers compared to the RCRI to preoperatively predict in-hospital MACE and other adverse outcomes in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Tertiary: To investigate the prognostic value of other prediction models compared to the RCRI to preoperatively predict in-hospital MACE and other adverse outcomes in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. SEARCH METHODS We searched MEDLINE and Embase from 1 January 1999 (the year that the RCRI was published) until 25 June 2020. We also searched ISI Web of Science and SCOPUS for articles referring to the original RCRI development study in that period. SELECTION CRITERIA We included studies among adults who underwent noncardiac surgery, reporting on (external) validation of the RCRI and: - the addition of biomarker(s) to the RCRI; or - the comparison of the predictive accuracy of biomarker(s) to the RCRI; or - the comparison of the predictive accuracy of the RCRI to other models. Besides MACE, all other adverse outcomes were considered for inclusion. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We developed a data extraction form based on the CHARMS checklist. Independent pairs of authors screened references, extracted data and assessed risk of bias and concerns regarding applicability according to PROBAST. For biomarkers and prediction models that were added or compared to the RCRI in ≥ 3 different articles, we described study characteristics and findings in further detail. We did not apply GRADE as no guidance is available for prognostic model reviews. MAIN RESULTS We screened 3960 records and included 107 articles. Over all objectives we rated risk of bias as high in ≥ 1 domain in 90% of included studies, particularly in the analysis domain. Statistical pooling or meta-analysis of reported results was impossible due to heterogeneity in various aspects: outcomes used, scale by which the biomarker was added/compared to the RCRI, prediction horizons and studied populations. Added predictive value of biomarkers to the RCRI Fifty-one studies reported on the added value of biomarkers to the RCRI. Sixty-nine different predictors were identified derived from blood (29%), imaging (33%) or other sources (38%). Addition of NT-proBNP, troponin or their combination improved the RCRI for predicting MACE (median delta c-statistics: 0.08, 0.14 and 0.12 for NT-proBNP, troponin and their combination, respectively). The median total net reclassification index (NRI) was 0.16 and 0.74 after addition of troponin and NT-proBNP to the RCRI, respectively. Calibration was not reported. To predict myocardial infarction, the median delta c-statistic when NT-proBNP was added to the RCRI was 0.09, and 0.06 for prediction of all-cause mortality and MACE combined. For BNP and copeptin, data were not sufficient to provide results on their added predictive performance, for any of the outcomes. Comparison of the predictive value of biomarkers to the RCRI Fifty-one studies assessed the predictive performance of biomarkers alone compared to the RCRI. We identified 60 unique predictors derived from blood (38%), imaging (30%) or other sources, such as the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (32%). Predictions were similar between the ASA classification and the RCRI for all studied outcomes. In studies different from those identified in objective 1, the median delta c-statistic was 0.15 and 0.12 in favour of BNP and NT-proBNP alone, respectively, when compared to the RCRI, for the prediction of MACE. For C-reactive protein, the predictive performance was similar to the RCRI. For other biomarkers and outcomes, data were insufficient to provide summary results. One study reported on calibration and none on reclassification. Comparison of the predictive value of other prognostic models to the RCRI Fifty-two articles compared the predictive ability of the RCRI to other prognostic models. Of these, 42% developed a new prediction model, 22% updated the RCRI, or another prediction model, and 37% validated an existing prediction model. None of the other prediction models showed better performance in predicting MACE than the RCRI. To predict myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest, ACS-NSQIP-MICA had a higher median delta c-statistic of 0.11 compared to the RCRI. To predict all-cause mortality, the median delta c-statistic was 0.15 higher in favour of ACS-NSQIP-SRS compared to the RCRI. Predictive performance was not better for CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, R2CHADS2, Goldman index, Detsky index or VSG-CRI compared to the RCRI for any of the outcomes. Calibration and reclassification were reported in only one and three studies, respectively. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Studies included in this review suggest that the predictive performance of the RCRI in predicting MACE is improved when NT-proBNP, troponin or their combination are added. Other studies indicate that BNP and NT-proBNP, when used in isolation, may even have a higher discriminative performance than the RCRI. There was insufficient evidence of a difference between the predictive accuracy of the RCRI and other prediction models in predicting MACE. However, ACS-NSQIP-MICA and ACS-NSQIP-SRS outperformed the RCRI in predicting myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest combined, and all-cause mortality, respectively. Nevertheless, the results cannot be interpreted as conclusive due to high risks of bias in a majority of papers, and pooling was impossible due to heterogeneity in outcomes, prediction horizons, biomarkers and studied populations. Future research on the added prognostic value of biomarkers to existing prediction models should focus on biomarkers with good predictive accuracy in other settings (e.g. diagnosis of myocardial infarction) and identification of biomarkers from omics data. They should be compared to novel biomarkers with so far insufficient evidence compared to established ones, including NT-proBNP or troponins. Adherence to recent guidance for prediction model studies (e.g. TRIPOD; PROBAST) and use of standardised outcome definitions in primary studies is highly recommended to facilitate systematic review and meta-analyses in the future.

A Combination of N-Terminal proB-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Myoglobin Can Predict Severe Complications After Major Non-Cardiac Surgery in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:679260. [PMID: 34646835 PMCID: PMC8504450 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.679260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that serum N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes after surgery. We performed a prospective study to evaluate if NT-proBNP could be a sensitive marker of overall postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing major elective non-cardiac surgery when combined with myoglobin (MYO). Methods: Two hundred and three adults aged ≥65 years were enrolled in the study. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of patients were I to IV. Blood samples would be taken before and 2 h after the surgery for each patients and NT-proBNP and MYO concentrations (NT-proBNP baseline/ 2 h and MYO baseline/ 2 h) of these samples would be measured immediately. The primary outcome was moderate to severe complications, which were based on the Clavien–Dindo Classification (CDC) scheme (≥CDC grade 3), and the secondary outcomes were major complications within 30 days after surgery. This study was registered at China Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1900026223, http://www.chictr.org.cn/). Results: Overall, moderate to severe complications occurred in 15 patients (7.4%) and major complications occurred in 18 patients (8.9%). Both preoperative and postoperative NT-proBNP values were independent predictors of moderate to severe complications (area under the curve (AUC), 0.820; 95% CI: 0.728, 0.912, P < 0.001; AUC, 0.785; 95% CI: 0.685, 0.885, P < 0.001). When NT-proBNP baseline and MYO-2 h were combined (NT-proBNP baseline × MYO-2 h), the predictive power was improved (AUC 0.841, 95% CI: 0.758, 0.923, P < 0.001). Conclusions: A combination of perioperative NT-proBNP and postoperative MYO concentrations was a good predictor of postoperative complications in elderly patients who underwent major non-cardiac surgery. Using fast and dynamic tests provided by point-to-care-testing, NT-proBNP and MYO concentration measurements provided useful guidance for therapy before or soon after surgery, thus helping to reduce postoperative complications in elderly patients.

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2019; 28:945-952. [PMID: 30753496 DOI: 10.1093/icvts/ivz016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2018] [Revised: 12/31/2018] [Accepted: 01/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Following lung resection, there is a decrease in the functional capacity and quality of life, which is not fully explained by changes in pulmonary function. Previous work demonstrates that B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is associated with short- and long-term complications following lung resection, leading to the suggestion that cardiac dysfunction may contribute to functional deterioration. Our aim was to investigate any relationship between BNP and subjective and objective indices of functional deterioration following lung resection surgery. METHODS Twenty-seven patients undergoing lung resection had serum BNP measured preoperatively, on postoperative day (POD)1 and POD2, and at 2 months postoperatively. The functional deterioration was assessed using 6-min walk tests and the Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale. 'Deterioration in functional capacity' was defined as either an increase in the Medical Research Council dyspnoea score or a significant decrease in the 6-min walk test distance. RESULTS BNP increased over time (P < 0.01) and was significantly elevated on POD1 and POD2 (P < 0.02 for both). Seventeen patients demonstrated functional deterioration 2 months postoperatively. At all perioperative time points, BNP was significantly higher in patients showing deterioration (P < 0.05 for all). Preoperative BNP was predictive of functional deterioration at 2 months with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.82 (P = 0.01, 95% confidence interval 0.65-0.99). CONCLUSIONS This study has demonstrated, using subjective and objective measures, that preoperative BNP is a predictor of functional deterioration following lung resection. BNP may have a role in preoperative risk stratification in this population, allowing therapy in future to be targeted towards high-risk patients with the aim of preventing postoperative cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Postoperative cardiovascular and pulmonary complications (PCVCs and PPCs) are frequent and result in prolonged hospital stay. The aim of this study was to update the risk factors associated with major complications and survival after lung cancer surgery. Methods This is a post-hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial that was designed to assess the benefits of preoperative physical training. After enrollment, clinical, biological and functional data as well as intraoperative details were collected. In-hospital PCVCs and PPCs were recorded and survival data were adjudicated up to 4 years after surgery. Results Data from 151 patients were analyzed. Thirty-day mortality rate was 2.6% and the incidence of PCVCs and PPCs was 15% and 33%, respectively. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that, PCVCs were mainly related to elevated plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptides [odds ratios (ORs) =6.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3-27.3] and performance of a pneumonectomy (OR =9.6; 95% CI, 2.9-31.5) whereas PPCs were associated with the presence of COPD (OR =5.9; 95% CI, 2.4-14.8), current smoking (OR =2.6; 95% CI, 1.1-6.5) and the need for blood transfusion (OR =5.2; 95% CI, 1.2-23.3). Preoperative physical training was a protective factor regarding PPCs (OR =0.13; 95% CI, 0.05-0.34). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that ventilatory inefficiency during exercise (expressed by a ratio >40 of ventilation to carbon dioxide elimination), coronary artery disease, elevated plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptides and the occurrence of PPCs were all predictive of poor survival after surgery. Conclusions Besides smoking and the extent of lung resection, preexisting cardiopulmonary disease as evidence by elevated levels of brain natriuretic peptides and inefficient ventilation are associated with poor clinical outcome after lung cancer surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study sought to determine whether preoperatively measured high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) improve cardiac risk prediction in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery compared with the standard risk indices. METHODS In this ancillary study to the Vitamins in Nitrous Oxide trial, patients were included who had preoperative hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP measured (n = 572). Study outcome was the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) within the first 3 postoperative days. hs-cTnT was considered elevated if >14 ng/L and NT-proBNP if >300 ng/L. Additional cutoff values were investigated on the basis of receiver operating characteristic statistics. Biomarker risk prediction was compared with Lee's Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) with the use of standard methods and net reclassification index. RESULTS The addition of hs-cTnT (>14 ng/L) and NT-proBNP (>300 ng/L) to RCRI significantly improved the prediction of postoperative MI (event rate 30/572 [5.2%], Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve increased from 0.590 to 0.716 with a 0.66 net reclassification index [95% confidence interval 0.32-0.99], P < .001). The use of 108 ng/L as a cutoff for NT-proBNP improved sensitivity compared with 300 ng/L (0.87 vs 0.53). Sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive value for hs-cTnT were 0.70, 0.60, 0.09, and 0.97 and for NT-proBNP were 0.53, 0.68, 0.08, and 0.96. CONCLUSIONS The addition of cardiac biomarkers hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP to RCRI improves the prediction of adverse cardiac events in the immediate postoperative period after major noncardiac surgery. The high negative predictive value of preoperative hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP suggest usefulness as a "rule-out" test to confirm low risk of postoperative MI.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and is a major risk factor for postoperative cardiovascular complications and death. Recognizing this, the American Society of Anesthesiologists urges clinicians to implement special considerations in the perioperative care of OSA patients. However, as the volume of patients presenting for TJA increases, resources to implement these recommendations are limited. This necessitates mechanisms to efficiently risk stratify patients having OSA who may be susceptible to post-TJA cardiovascular complications. We explore the role of perioperative measurement of cardiac troponins (cTns) and brain natriuretic peptides (BNPs) in helping determine which OSA patients are at increased risk for post-TJA cardiovascular-related morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The first aim of the present study was to evaluate the pre- and postoperative B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients undergoing surgery for repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and analyze their power as a predictor of in-hospital cardiac events. The second aim was to evaluate the association among pre- and postoperative BNP levels, postoperative patient complications, and length of hospital stay. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING A university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Forty-five patients undergoing elective surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. INTERVENTIONS The plasma BNP level was assessed just before surgery and then on postoperative day 1. Cardiac troponin I levels were measured postoperatively on arrival to the intensive care unit (time 0) and then 12, 48, and 72 hours later. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The preoperative BNP concentration in patients who developed an acute myocardial infarction was 209 (IQR 84-346) pg/mL compared with 74 (IQR 28-142) pg/mL in those who did not. The difference between groups was statistically significant (p = 0.04). The Spearman correlation showed that postoperative BNP levels correlated significantly with preoperative BNP levels (r = 0.73, p = 0.0001), length of hospital stay (r = 0.35, p = 0.04), and troponin I concentration at 0 hour (r = 0.42, p = 0.02), 12 hours (r = 0.51, p = 0.0052), and 48 hours (r = 0.40, p = 0.033). In contrast, preoperative BNP levels correlated with troponin I at only 12 hours (r = 0.34, p = 0.02). Postoperative BNP levels were influenced significantly by transfusions (p = 0.035) and cross-clamping times (p = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS The present results confirm the high negative predictive value of preoperative BNP levels; and postoperative BNP levels showed a better correlation with postoperative troponin levels, blood transfusion, and postoperative cardiac events.

Abstract
Perioperative cardiac complications are a major cause of death following emergency gastrointestinal surgery. Early diagnosis of subclinical myocardial injury and infarction may be improved by screening with cardiac biomarkers. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of troponin I (TnI) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the early postoperative period after emergency gastrointestinal surgery. We prospectively recruited 48 patients undergoing major emergency surgery for gastrointestinal or colorectal pathology in a single district general hospital. The primary endpoint was mortality at 90 days following surgery. Overall survival was 81.3% (39/48), with 9 postoperative deaths. Elevated TnI (≥0.03 ng ) was the best predictor of mortality, associated with an odds ratio of death by 90 days of 14.3 (95% CI 1.50–337, ). A postoperative BNP concentration >408.5 pg was associated with an odds ratio of death by 90 days of 13.6 (95% CI 2.03–106, ). A single measurement of postoperative BNP and TnI is a powerful predictor of short- to medium-term mortality in patients after emergency gastrointestinal surgery. Further work is required to demonstrate that cardiac biomarkers have independent predictive power and that patient outcomes can be improved.
