ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With a Composite Outcome Consisted of Myocardial Injury After Non-cardiac Surgery (MINS), Non-fatal Cardiac Arrest, and All-cause MortalityFrom the end of surgery to 30 days after surgery
The primary outcome was a composite of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery, non-fatal cardiac arrest, and all-cause mortality within 30 days of surgery. Myocardial injury was diagnosed when available troponin concentrations exceeded generation-specific and type-specific thresholds and were apparently of ischaemic origin (ie, no other obvious cause for artifactual elevation). We used the following thresholds based on available literature at time of adjudication: 1) non-high-sensitivity (fourth-generation) troponin T ≥0.03 ng/ml2; 2) high-sensitivity troponin T ≥65 ng/L; or high-sensitivity troponin T 20-64 ng/L and an increase ≥5 ng/L from baseline3; 3) high-sensitivity troponin I (Abbott assay) is ≥75 ng/L4; 4) high-sensitivity troponin I (Siemens assay) is ≥60 ng/L5; or, 5) troponin I (other assays) greater than local 99th percentiles. Myocardial infarction diagnosis required both troponin elevation and at least one diagnostic symptom or sign.
SecondaryDeep or Organ-space Surgical Site InfectionFrom the end of surgery to 30 days after surgery
Surgical site infection is defined by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. It is consisted of superficial infection, deep infection, and organ-space infection. Superficial infection: Infection involves only skin or subcutaneous tissue of the incision. Deep infection: Infection appears to be related to the operation and infection involves deep soft tissues (e.g., fascial and muscle layers) of the incision. Organ-space infection: Infection involves any part of the anatomy (e.g., organs or spaces), other than the incision, which was opened or manipulated during an operation.
SecondaryNumber of Patients Requiring Intraoperative TransfusionFrom surgery start to surgery endintraoperative transfusion will be yes if this patient received more than 0 unit of red blood cells.
SecondaryDuration of HospitalizationFrom the day of surgery to the day of discharge, or 30 days after surgery if the patients is still hospitalizedThe length of hospital stay in days, censored at 30 days
SecondaryReadmissionFrom the end of surgery to 30 days after surgeryReadmission to a hospital within a month of surgery
