    From the Creator

    Why did you develop the AUB-HAS2 cardiovascular index? 

    Pre-operative cardiovascular risk assessment is an essential step in the evaluation of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. It is now endorsed by several guidelines. Many risk indices have been previously published: some are powerful, but complex, while others are simple but have a weak discriminatory power. The American University of Beirut (AUB)-HAS2 risk index was derived to provide a simple and powerful tool for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery with contemporary surgical and anesthesiologic techniques. The index is based on six easily acquired data elements: history of Heart disease, symptoms of Heart disease (angina or dyspnea), Age ≥ 75 years, Anemia (hemoglobin < 12 mg/dl), vascular Surgery, and emergency Surgery. It can stratify patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery into three risk groups: Low (score 0-1), intermediate (score 2-3), and high (score >3), with a strong discriminative power to predict a composite outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or stoke at 30 days after surgery. The index has been validated prospectively in a cohort of patients from the American University of Beirut and retrospectively in a large sample of over a million patients from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.
