About this study

Official title: Impact of 2014 ACC/AHA Perioperative Guidelines on Cardiological Resource Use in Noncardiac Surgery Patients

Recently, a predictive model has been developed to assess the risk of myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest (MICA) during and after surgery using the American Society of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. In this MICA model, 180 hospital databases were used in 2007 and 2008 and included more than 200 000 patients. The Gupta score developed with this MICA model identified five predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest: type of surgery, functional status, creatinine increase (>130 mmol/L or >1.5 mg/dL), age, and American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class. The Gupta score is presented as an interactive risk calculation program in the 2014 guideline of the ACC/AHA. The risk can be calculated simply and accurately at the bedside or clinic. The Gupta score is in spreadsheet format and can be downloaded online at http://www.surgicalriskcalculator.com/miorcardiacarrest. Unlike the previously used indexes, a scoring system has not been established. An estimate of the probability of myocardial infarction/cardiac arrest is provided for individual patients.

In this study, the primary aim was to compare the frequency of cardiology consultation requests according to the use of the Gupta score. The secondary aim is to evaluate the perioperative clinical results (coronary angiography, ECHO, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia, 30-day mortality, etc.).SPSS 21.0 (Version 22.0, SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) program will be used for statistical analysis. After applying the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, the student's t-test will be used if the distribution is normal, and the Mann-Whitey U test will be used if the distribution is not normal. Fisher's exact test or chi-square test will be used for categorical variables. Results p<0.05 will be considered significant.

Read the detailed description

All patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are at risk of major perioperative cardiovascular events. Cardiac complications account for 42% of the overall complications of these surgeries. Therefore, cardiologists are the most frequently consulted specialists in preoperative evaluation. Unnecessary cardiology consultations may cause comments that will not affect the practice of anesthesia, inappropriate tests and interventions, and delay in the surgical procedure.

Recently, a predictive model has been developed to assess the risk of myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest (MICA) during and after surgery using the American Society of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. In this MICA model, 180 hospital databases were used in 2007 and 2008 and included more than 200 000 patients.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gupta score (time frame: perioperative period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05532917, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2023.
