Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The primary outcome is perioperative hypotension, defined as any mean arterial pressure (MAP) reading ≤55 mmHg during and up to 4 hours after noncardiac surgery.

Secondary endpoints 1

  1. Secondary outcomes include time under MAP ≤60 mm Hg intraoperatively and postoperatively; a composite of major perfusion-related complications: myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), acute kidney injury (AKI), stroke, non-fatal cardiac arrest, sepsis, and death of all causes; infusion-related reactions; days alive and at home up to 30 days after surgery.
