ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Postoperative myocardial injury (PMI) comprises a spectrum of mechanisms resulting in troponin release. The impact of different PMI phenotypes on postoperative disability remains unknown.METHODS:
This was a multicentre prospective cohort study including patients aged ≥50 yr undergoing elective major noncardiac surgery. Patients were stratified in five groups based on the occurrence of PMI and clinical information on postoperative adverse events PMI classified as myocardial infarction (MI; according to fourth definition), PMI plus adverse event other than MI, clinically silent PMI (PMI without adverse events), adverse events without PMI, and neither PMI nor an adverse event (reference). The primary endpoint was 6-month self-reported disability (assessed by WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 [WHODAS]). Disability-free survival was defined as WHODAS ≤16%.RESULTS:
We included 888 patients of mean age 69 (range 53-91) yr, of which 356 (40%) were women; 151 (17%) patients experienced PMI, and 625 (71%) experienced 6-month disability-free survival. Patients with PMI, regardless of its phenotype, had higher preoperative disability scores than patients without PMI (difference in WHODAS; ß 3.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.5-6.2), but scores remained stable after surgery (ß 1.2, 95% CI -3.2-5.6). Before surgery, patients with MI (n=36, 4%) were more disabled compared with patients without PMI and no adverse events (ß 5.5, 95% CI 0.3-10.8). At 6 months, patients with MI and patients without PMI but with adverse events worsened in disability score (ß 11.2, 95% CI 2.3-20.2; ß 8.1, 95% CI 3.0-13.2, respectively). Patients with clinically silent PMI did not change in disability score at 6 months (ß 1.39, 95% CI -4.50-7.29, P=0.642).CONCLUSIONS:
Although patients with postoperative myocardial injury had higher preoperative self-reported disability, disability scores did not change at 6 months after surgery. However, patients experiencing myocardial infarction worsened in disability score after surgery.Palavras-chave
