Existing cardiac risk assessment tools have some limitations and are not specifically designed for elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. This study aimed to develop and internally validate a nomogram for prediction of PCEs in these patients.Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 992 patients aged ≥ 65 years undergoing hip fracture surgery in our hospital from July 2015 to December 2021. Patients’ demographics and clinical data were collected. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to select predictors, and multivariate logistic regression was employed to construct a nomogram. Internal validation was performed by bootstrapping. The discriminatory ability of the model was determined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The calibration and clinical utility of the model were assessed. The predictive power and clinical benefit of the nomogram were compared with the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI).Results: The nomogram was constructed including seven variables: general anesthesia, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, history of heart failure, history of severe arrhythmia, history of coronary artery disease, preoperative platelet count, and serum creatinine. The nomogram had an excellent predictive ability (AUC = 0.875, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.828– 0.918). Satisfactory calibration was shown by calibration plots and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (P = 0.520). Clinical usefulness was confirmed by decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve. The predictive power and clinical utility of the nomogram were superior to RCRI.Conclusion: We developed an easy-to-use nomogram for prediction of PCEs in elderly hip fracture patients. This prediction model could effectively identify patients at high risk of PCEs and may be useful for perioperative management optimization.Plain Language Summary: Postoperative cardiac events (PCEs) are serious cardiac complications of hip fracture surgery in patients aged ≥ 65 years. There is a lack of accurate cardiac risk assessment tools specifically designed for such patients with hip fractures.This study aimed to develop a specific prediction model for the prediction of PCEs in elderly hip fracture patients and evaluate its performance.We performed a study of 992 patients aged ≥ 65 years undergoing hip fracture surgery. Forty-eight routine clinical data were collected as potential risk factors. These were put into statistical models to screen significant predictors and establish a nomogram prediction model (a simple visualized two-dimensional diagram). Then, seven predictors were identified, namely general anesthesia, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, history of heart failure, history of severe arrhythmia, history of coronary artery disease, preoperative platelet (PLT) count, and serum creatinine (Scr). The nomogram was developed based on these predictors and performed well in this unique population. It could easily and accurately identify those patients at high risk of PCEs and might be useful for improving patient outcomes.Keywords: prediction model, nomogram, postoperative cardiac events, hip fracture, elderly |
