AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of physical inactivity and its associated factors in adult patients admitted to hospital for noncardiac surgery.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: Five hundred able-bodied patients (age ≥45 years) admitted to hospital, also participants in the VISION study, were recruited before noncardiac surgery. The physical activity level (PAL) was assessed with the International Physical of Activity Questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the associations between a number of predetermined factors and physical inactivity.
Findings: Overall, 59.8% were inactive. Factors associated with inactivity included age, assistance with activities of daily living, and insulin-dependent diabetes.
Conclusion: A substantial number of patients scheduled for noncardiac surgery are inactive. Elderly patients, those needing assistance, and those with long-lasting diabetes may benefit from PAL assessment before surgery.
Clinical Relevance: Healthcare providers should identify PALs and monitor for known risk factors to prepare patients for surgical procedures.

The timing of surgical interventions following the implantation of coronary drug-eluting stents in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.
Int J Surg

Senior Department of General Surgery, the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Abstract: We aim to investigate the optimal timing for surgical interventions to maximize patient benefit.
Background: The guidelines recommending a minimum deferral of six months for non-cardiac surgeries following drug-eluting stent percutaneous coronary intervention (DES-PCI) do not adequately address the requirements for individuals undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery (GCS).
Methods: The study encompassed 2,501 patients treated from January 2017 to December 2021, all of whom underwent GCS within one year after DES-PCI.
Systematic literature review on early detection of postoperative delirium in adult patients after cardiac surgery.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a cognitive decline and attention deficit that can occur in patients after cardiac surgery. Despite extensive research identifying the risk factors, POD often remains undiagnosed and untreated in medical settings. Therefore, this systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to summarize the available studies on early POD identification in patients following cardiovascular surgery.

Background: Hypertension therapy in older adults is often suboptimal, in part because of inadequate suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). We hypothesised that distinct endotypes of RAAS activation before noncardiac surgery are associated with increased risk of myocardial injury.
Methods: This was a prespecified exploratory analysis of a multicentre randomised controlled trial (ISRCTN17251494) which randomised patients ≥60 yr old undergoing elective noncardiac surgery to either continue or stop RAAS inhibitors (determined by pharmacokinetic profiles).

Background And Objective: Accurate prediction of perioperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) is crucial, as it not only aids clinicians in comprehensively assessing patients' surgical risks and tailoring personalized surgical and perioperative management plans, but also for information-based shared decision-making with patients and efficient allocation of medical resources. This study developed and validated a machine learning (ML) model using accessible preoperative clinical data to predict perioperative MACEs in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients undergoing noncardiac surgery (NCS).
Methods: We collected data from 9171 adult SCAD patients who underwent NCS and extracted 64 preoperative variables.

Approximately 320 million surgeries occur annually worldwide, increasingly performed on an ageing, comorbid population in whom postoperative complications contribute significantly to mortality. While anesthesiologists have led advances in perioperative care, the optimal structure of the provision of postoperative care has lacked discourse. In this article, we describe the implementation, structure, role, and benefits of an Anesthesiology Perioperative Outreach Service (APOS) at a Canadian tertiary hospital, providing proactive daily review and management of high-risk surgical patients.
