“Vasopressors” indicate the need for vasopressors or inotropes within the first 6 hours after surgery. AUC indicates area under the receiver operating characteristic (curve); CI, confidence interval; cTnT, cardiac troponin T; IDI, integrated discrimination improvement; and MACCE, major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular event.
