NCT03016936

Brief Summary

Multicentre international prospective cohort study designed to answer the question: "In patients undergoing elevated risk noncardiac surgery, are METs estimated by questionnaire associated with perioperative major adverse cardiovascular events or cardiovascular mortality?" If so:

  1. 1.What is the optimal cut-off for METs estimated by questionnaire to predict perioperative major adverse cardiovascular events or cardiovascular mortality?
  2. 2.How does the optimal cut-off compare with the currently guideline-endorsed 4-MET cut-off?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Composite of intra or postoperative inhospital cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, stroke and congestive heart failure requiring transfer to a higher care unit or prolonging stay on ICU/intermediate care (≥24h)

    Composite of intra- or postoperative inhospital cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure requiring transfer to a higher unit of care or prolonging stay on ICU/intermediate care (≥24h).

    within 24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • composite of intra- or postoperative inhospital cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure requiring transfer to a higher unit of care or prolonging stay on ICU/IMC (≥24h)

    at 30days after surgery or on discharge

  • Inhospital all-cause mortality

    at 30days after surgery

  • complications ≥ 3 in Clavien Dindo Classification

    From date of surgery until up to day 30 after surgery or until discharge if occurred before day 30 and no follow-up call is carried out.

  • length of In hospital stay (days), length of ICU stay (days in the ICU)

    from date of surgery until discharge or until day 30 after surgery, whichever occurs first. .

  • myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS)

    From date of surgery until up to day 30 after surgery or until discharge if occurred before day 30 and no follow-up call is carried out.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

patients undergoing elective, elevated-risk noncardiac surgery.

You may qualify if:

  • Planned as Inpatients after surgery
  • years of age or older AND undergoing elective elevated-risk noncardiac surgery as defined by either a Revised Cardiac Risk Index ≥ 2 \[9\] OR NSQIP MICA\>1% \[10\]
  • years of age or older and undergoing intermediate or high-risk procedures \[3\]
  • Signed Written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Non-elective surgery, i.e. planned to occur ≤ 72 hours after diagnosis of the acute condition that makes the procedure necessary
  • Acute coronary syndrome or uncontrolled congestive heart failure within the last 30 days of planned day of surgery
  • Stroke within the last 7 days of planned day of surgery
  • Outpatients
  • Patients unable to perform ambulation due to congenital or longstanding illnesses/states (e.g. paraplegics, polio, etc; but explicitly not patients with fractures, needing hip replacement, etc.)
  • Unable to consent or unwilling to participate
  • Previous enrolment in MET REPAIR (in case of repeated surgery)
