ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: To identify pancreatectomy specific risk factors for myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest (MICA) and to assess whether addition of new information obtained during the hospitalization changes these risk factors.
METHODS: Analysis was performed on elective pancreatectomy data from the ACS-NSQIP database (2014-2019). Risk factors were grouped into pre-operative, intra-operative, and postoperative phases. Factors were selected using a bootstrap resampling procedure to determine MICA association. Independent significance was assessed by logistic regression.
RESULTS: In the first 30 days post-op, 650 of 39779 patients (1.88%) developed MICA. Some of the surgery specific, intra- and post-operative factors that were identified are: delayed gastric emptying (OR: 2.61; 95% CI: 2.12-3.21), total pancreatectomy (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.29-3.42), pancreatic fistula (OR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.25-1.90), post-operative transfusion (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.03-1.58), and open approach (OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.05-1.77). Adding new variables improved statistical model performance and the c-statistic improved from 0.69 to 0.76 in the final analysis.
CONCLUSION: Surgery specific, intra-, and post-operative factors were associated with MICA. Addition of new information during the hospital course changed risk factors and the statistical prediction of MICA risk improved.
