Discrimination and calibration properties of the hypotension probability indicator during cardiac and vascular surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: The HPI5-7 may offer some useful insights. Values ≤ 85% carry a clinically acceptable NPV for hypotensive events at the observed prevalence and may represent a "safe zone" during surgery. Values > 85% do not carry enough PPV to trigger hemodynamic interventions, but represent a warning signal. Values > 98% are highly suggesting a hypotensive event after 5-7 minutes. Further studies exploring the predictive ability of the HPI at different times are needed.
