Article Abstract

Objective: Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is associated with adverse outcomes. It could be challenging to define IOH in vascular surgical patients with increased baseline blood pressure (BP). The authors studied the relationship between (1) absolute and relative BP thresholds of IOH, (2) preoperative pulse pressure (PP) and isolated systolic hypertension, and (3) endovascular versus open surgical approach with adverse outcomes in vascular surgical patients.

Design: Retrospective observational study.

Setting: Teaching hospital.

Patients: A total of 566 vascular surgical patients from 2011 to 2018.

Intervention: None.

Measurements And Main Results: BP thresholds were as follows: IOH - absolute mean arterial pressure (MAP) <65 mmHg, relative MAP >20% decrease from baseline, preoperative PP hypertension - PP >40 mmHg, isolated systolic hypertension - baseline systolic BP ≥140 mmHg with diastolic BP <90 mmHg. Thresholds were characterized by (1) total duration and (2) area under the curve. Primary outcome was a composite of postoperative in-hospital complications (acute kidney injury, stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and mortality). Forty-six (8.1%) patients had in-hospital complications. Only IOH duration-MAP <65 mmHg (odds ratio 1.01; 95% confidence interval 1.00-1.02; p = 0.004) was significantly associated with outcome. No associations were found with MAP >20% decrease from baseline and preoperative BP. Significant interaction was observed with the surgical approach and outcome (p = 0.031), which was stronger after 60 minutes of IOH in endovascular approach.

Conclusion: Longer periods of IOH (MAP <65 mmHg for >60 minutes) during endovascular surgery were associated with adverse outcomes. Relative fall in BP from baseline, preoperative isolated systolic, and PP hypertension were not associated with postoperative complications.

Background: Lower extremity arterial disease is a prevalent vascular condition leading to ischemic symptoms and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Drug-eluting stents have improved outcomes by reducing restenosis, with sirolimus emerging as a promising alternative to paclitaxel due to its safer profile. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of novel polymer-free Amphilimus formulation (Sirolimus + fatty acid) eluting self-expanding stent in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease in a real-world population.

Importance: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) frequently experience psychological distress; however, access to psychological support remains limited.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a digital psychological intervention for individuals with IRDs.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Participants aged 18 years or older were recruited across Germany between February 22 and June 4, 2024, if they had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or systemic lupus erythematosus and reported psychological distress and reduced quality of life.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Importance: Exposure to inflammation from chorioamnionitis places the fetus at higher risk of premature birth and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, though the evidence for the latter is mixed.

Objective: To evaluate whether moderate to severe histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is directly associated with adverse motor performance, independent of the indirect mediating effects of premature birth.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, population-based cohort study recruited participants between September 16, 2016, and November 19, 2019, from referral and nonreferral neonatal intensive care units of 5 southwestern Ohio hospitals.
