研究概览
简要总结
The study will investigate whether the presence of coronary artery calcium as demonstrated on pre-operative, thoracic staging Computed Tomography (CT) is an independent risk factor for 90 day mortality in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
The study research question: Do higher levels of coronary calcification correlate to an increased risk of post-operative mortality in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery?
详细描述
The study uses a retrospective observational study design.
Due to the nature of the subject of the study and its retrospective design no patient contact will be necessary and all imaging reviewed will have been acquired as part of their routine level of care.
Plan for the gathering of study data
A list of patients with the following surgical codes will be identified from the hospital surgical performance database to create retrospective dataset of 5 years' worth of cases (to December 2013). This date range may be extended to ensure an adequate sample size. :
Surgical codes (Healthcare Resource Groups (HRG) codes) to be included:

结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome measure is an abbreviated calcium score
时间窗: 5 years
To investigate whether the presence and severity of coronary calcification identified on routine, pre-operative staging CT scans of the chest are an independent risk factor for patients undergoing major surgery. Techniques have now been validated where calcium scores can be estimated from routine CT scans of the chest (Shemesh et al. 2006).
次要结局
- To assess the use of the calcium scoring technique in contrast enhanced studies.(5 years)
