Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the epidemiological profile and key factors influencing morbidity and mortality in high-risk noncardiac surgical patients in Brazil.
- Conducted as a multicenter observational research, it tracked 904 noncardiac surgical patients in intensive care units over 7 days, noting complication and mortality rates.
- Results showed a 29.9% complication rate and a 9.6% mortality rate within 28 days post-surgery, with higher risk factors including worse scores on the SAPS 3 and SOFA, longer surgical durations, and the nature of surgeries being emergencies.
