[Influence of the risk factors of atherosclerosis on the onset of early peri-operative complications in peripheral arterial surgery].
The influence of classical atherosclerosis risk factors (male sex, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, overweight and hypertension on peri-hospital mortality and morbidity were studied in 83 patients (68 men and 15 women) aged 63 +/- 13 years and undergoing peripheral arterial surgery. None of these factors was statistically correlated with peri-operative complications with the exception of hypertension but the correlation was slight (0.5 less than p less than 0.10). In contrast, there was a powerful statistical (p less than 0.0003) link between age and morbidity and mortality associated with this type of surgery.
