Prediction model for heart and brain complications in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery
Construction of a Prediction Model for Severe Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Complications in Elderly Patients After Elective Non-cardiac Surgery: a Prospective Cohort Study
This study is trying to create a tool to help doctors predict serious heart and brain problems in older patients having non-heart surgeries, so they can better manage their care and improve recovery.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to develop a prediction model for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in elderly patients over 65 years old undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. By enrolling approximately 3000 patients, the study will collect data before, during, and after surgery to observe the occurrence of serious complications. The goal is to enhance the predictive ability for postoperative complications, allowing for better risk assessment and management of elderly patients. Ultimately, this model aims to reduce the incidence of MACCE and improve patient outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are elderly patients aged 65 and older who are scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing local anesthesia, day surgery, or those expected to have a short hospital stay may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this model could significantly enhance the safety and management of elderly patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in developing predictive models for postoperative complications, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
