Background: Currently used indices for pre-operative cardiovascular evaluation are either powerful, but complex, or simple, but with weak discriminatory power.
Objectives: This study sought to prospectively derive and validate a simple powerful index that can stratify the cardiovascular risk of patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Methods: The derivation cohort consisted of 3,284 prospectively enrolled adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery at the American University of Beirut Medical Center.
