Machine learning-based model for predicting major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients aged 65 years and older undergoing noncardiac surgery

Abstract Background Few evidence-based prediction models have been developed for predicting major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients aged 65 years or older undergoing noncardiac surgery.

description Abstract Background Few evidence-based prediction models have been developed for predicting major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients aged 65 years or older undergoing noncardiac surgery. In this study, we aimed to analyze the risk factors for perioperative MACCE in patients aged 65 years or older undergoing noncardiac surgery and construct a prediction model. Methods In this nested case–control study, a total of 342 Chinese patients who were aged ≥ 65 years and underwent medium- or high-risk noncardiac surgery in our hospital were included. There were 84 cases with MACCE (the MACCE group) and 258 without MACCE (the control group). Univariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for MACCE. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to screen the variables. Nomogram was constructed using the selected variables. Machine learning methods, including Decision Tree, XGBoost, Support Vector Machine, K-nearest Neighbor, and Neural network, was used to establish, validate, and compare the performance of different prediction models. Results A prediction model based on nine variables, including age ≥ 85 years, history of ischemic chest pain, symptoms of decompensated heart failure, high-risk surgery, intraoperative minimum systolic blood pressure, postoperative systolic blood pressure, Cr levels over 2.0 mg/dL, left ventricular ejection fraction, and perioperative blood transfusion, was constructed. This LASSO logistic regression model showed good discriminatory ability to predict MACCE (area under the curve = 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.818 – 0.963) and fit to the test set (Hosmer–Lemeshow, χ2 = 7.4053, P = 0.4936). The decision curve analysis showed a positive net benefit of the new model. Compared with logistic regression model, the XGBoost model showed better prediction ability (area under the curve = 0.903). A preoperative prediction model based on five variables, including age ≥ 85 years, symptoms of decompensated heart failure, ischemic chest pain, high-risk type of surgery and Cr levels over 2.0 mg/dL was also constructed. This model showed good discriminatory ability to predict MACCE before surgery (area under the curve = 0.720 [95% CI, 0.591–0.848]. Both models compared with the modified RCRI score had improvement in reclassification. Conclusion By analyzing Chinese patients aged ≥ 65 years undergoing medium- or high-risk noncardiac surgery, the risk factors for perioperative MACCE were identified. Then, simple prediction models were constructed and validated, which showed good prediction performance and may be used as a decision-making assistant tool for clinicians. These findings provide a basis for preventing and improving the perioperative management of MACCE.
