Abstract

BACKGROUND: Early postoperative complication risk prediction would enhance perioperative surveillance and resource allocation. Reports have described brief submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for the routine assessment of cardiopulmonary disease. Compared with conventional CPET, it can be performed in 6 min and is used to predict peak CPET measurements. We aimed to determine whether submaximal CPET-derived measures outperform structured surveys in early postoperative complication detection.
