title: [Diagnosis and risk assessment of perioperative cardiovascular complications in geriatric patients in oncological surgery].
abstract: Cardiovascular events (CVE) developing at the stages of surgical treatment in 449 geriatric (aged 72 +/- 5.8 years) cancer patients with concomitant cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. Statistical analysis was used to compare and establish a discrepancy between the results of a predictable risk by the standard scale of the international perioperative CV risk index (ICVRI) and the actually developed complications. The logistic regression method was employed to analyze the risk factors included into the ICVRI scale. The risk factors that were best in predicting the development of CVE were determined. A mathematical formula was derived to estimate the adjusted prognosis of an individual cardiovascular risk. Based on their perioperative CV risk classification, the authors constructed an algorithm of a diagnostic search and surgical preparation tactics in seriously ill cancer patients with concomitant CVD. The algorithm has been put into the routine practice of the P. A. Herzen Moscow Research Institute of Oncology, which makes it possible to improve the results of surgical treatment in geriatric patients and to expand its indications. Examples of clinically applying the algorithm are given.
