Abstract
Since patients with diabetes mellitus have increased rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, it is critical to evaluate cardiovascular risk perioperatively. Although several preoperative risk indices have been developed, including the Goldman and Detsky indices, none have been designed specifically for diabetic patients. In this study, we attempted to identify predictors of postoperative cardiac and noncardiac complications in diabetic patients undergoing elective general surgery. A cohort of 107 diabetic patients undergoing elective surgery was assembled. Basic demographic and clinical data were recorded perioperatively, and all patients were followed up prospectively daily for 7 days postoperatively. Patients were interviewed at 5 years postoperatively. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of postoperative complications and long-term cardiac and vascular morbidity and mortality. Total cardiac complications and myocardial infarction were predicted by the Goldman index. Wound complications were not predicted by any of the variables studied. At 5 years postoperatively, cardiac and vascular deaths and events were predicted by age, history of myocardial infarction or stroke, presence ...Continue Reading
