    This study evaluated the PREVENT equations' association with postoperative cardiovascular events in thoracic surgery patients.

  • 2

    The study included 1,073 patients, with a median age of 58 years, undergoing thoracic surgery between January 2019 and October 2023.

  • 3

    In females, higher ASCVD and CHD scores were significantly associated with increased odds of postoperative angina and AMI.

  • 4

    No significant associations were found between PREVENT risk scores and major adverse cardiac and cerebral events in male patients.

  • 5

    The PREVENT equations showed light to moderate discrimination for predicting 30-day postoperative MACCE in female patients.
