From the Guidelines
A 0.1% Gupta risk signifies a low risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during or after non-cardiac surgery, with a probability of less than 1% as defined by the 2024 AHA/ACC/ACS/ASNC/HRS/SCA/SCCT/SCMR/SVM guideline 1. This risk score is categorized as low risk, indicating that combined surgical and patient characteristics predict a low risk of MACE 1. The Gupta risk calculator incorporates various factors to generate this percentage, providing a useful tool for predicting perioperative cardiac complications 1. Some key points to consider with a 0.1% Gupta risk include:
- The risk of MACE is minimal, and standard perioperative monitoring and care should still be maintained
- No special cardiac testing or interventions are typically needed before proceeding with surgery for patients with this low risk level
- The risk score is reassuring for both patients and surgical teams, indicating a very low probability of experiencing major adverse cardiac events during or after non-cardiac surgery 1. Key factors that influence the Gupta risk score include:
- Age
- Functional status
- Creatinine levels
- ASA class
- The type of surgery planned These factors are used to generate the percentage, which in this case is 0.1%, indicating a low risk of MACE 1.
From the Research
Definition of Gupta Risk
There is no direct information available in the provided studies to define what 0.1% Gupta risk signifies.
Relevant Information
- The studies provided are related to various medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease 2, hypertension 3, Alzheimer's disease 4, acute respiratory distress syndrome 5, and autism spectrum disorder 6.
- None of these studies mention the term "Gupta risk" or provide any information that can be used to define or explain it.
Availability of Information
- Since there is no relevant information available in the provided studies, it is not possible to determine what 0.1% Gupta risk signifies.
