Risk Identification

Key Highlights

  • The VISION Study (Vascular Events in Noncardiac Surgery Patients Cohort Evaluation) was a prospective multicenter international cohort study. Main study objectives included evaluation of perioperative vascular complications in patients >45 years of age undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The study also assessed the value of routine high-sensitivity Troponin T (hsTnT) measurement for detection of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) and adverse event prognostication.

key Findings

  • Among 21,842 patients underwent noncardiac surgery and who had hsTnT measured, peak postoperative hsTnT during the first 3 days after surgery was significantly associated with 30-day mortality. Elevated postoperative hsTnT without an ischemic feature was also associated with 30-day mortality.
