Brief Summary

Postoperative cardiovascular complications are common after noncardiac surgery. The association between perioperative inflammation and the occurrence of cardiovascular complications after surgery is still unknown. Therefore, we will evaluate as our primary aim the association between patients with increased postoperative inflammation, assessed with C-reactive protein measurements, and the occurrence of major cardiovascular complications after noncardiac surgery. We will further evaluate the influence of perioperative inflammation on the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury. We will also evaluate the association between inflammation and the influence on Days-At-Home within 30 days. Furthermore, we will evaluate the association between increased inflammatory biomarkers and postoperative N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Composite of cardiovascular complications

    The primary aim of the study is to investigate the influence of the maximum C-reactive protein value (over the first 3 days after surgery) on the incidence of major cardiovascular complications within 30 days after surgery. The composite binary endpoint is defined as myocardial infarction, myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery, new onset of atrial fibrillation, stroke or death.

    within 30 days after surgery and one year after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • C-reactive protein

    within 30 days after surgery

  • Acute Kidney Injury - C-reactive proteint

    within 5 days after surgery

  • Acute Kidney Injury - Interleukin 6

    within 5 days after surgery

  • Acute Kidney Injury - Procalcitonin

    within 5 days after surgery

  • Acute Kidney Injury - Copeptin

    within 5 days after surgery

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (4)

  • Atrial fibrillation (AF) evaluation

    within 5 days after surgery

  • SARS-Cov-2 - Inflammation

    within first 5 days after surgery

  • SARS-Cov-2 - Cardiovascular Complications

    One year after surgery

  • +1 more other outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Patients at least 45 years at-risk for cardiovascular complications

Diagnostic Test: Laboratory measurements

Interventions

Inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers will be measured before surgery, and on the first, second, third and fifth postoperative day

Patients at least 45 years at-risk for cardiovascular complications
