Relation between elevated first SBP from baseline (delta SBP) and postoperative outcome

Conclusion: Delta SBP contributed to the elevated risk over and beyond the SBP at rest in patients who underwent elective noncardiac surgery. A rise of SBP of more than 49 mmHg from baseline in the operating room was significantly associated with an increased risk of postoperative MACE.
