1

Post-induction hypotension (PIH) is common during general anesthesia and linked to adverse patient outcomes.
2

A systematic review evaluated the predictive performance and methodological quality of PIH prediction models.
3

Most studies (88.2%) were classified as having a high risk of bias, particularly in statistical analysis.
4

The pooled area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for optimal models was 0.81.
5

Significant predictors of PIH included age and propofol dose, with odds ratios of 1.031 and 1.357, respectively.
