This study adopted two mainstream diagnostic criteria (absolute and relative thresholds) to define BP elevation, and integrated physical, laboratory and psychological indicators to systematically explore relevant associated factors. Methods: This case-control study enrolling a total of 528 non-cardiac surgical patients. Patients were divided into case (elevated pre-anesthesia BP) and control (normal pre-anesthesia BP) groups. Pre-anesthesia BP elevation was defined as absolute threshold (systolic BP [SBP] ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP [DBP] ≥ 90 mmHg), and relative threshold (≥ 20% increase from baseline). Multivariable logistic regression was used to screen associated factors. Results: The incidence of pre-anesthesia BP elevation was 35.6% (n=188) under the absolute threshold and 28.2% (n=149) under the relative threshold. Multivariable analysis revealed that increasing age (absolute threshold: odds ratio [OR] 1.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05– 1.10, relative threshold: OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01– 1.04), hyperlipemia (absolute threshold: OR 2.66, 95% CI 1.84– 3.86, relative threshold: OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.18– 1.88) and anxiety (absolute threshold: OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.10– 1.25, relative threshold: OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02– 1.13) were correlated with BP elevation under both definitions (all p < 0.01). Under the absolute threshold, body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.03– 1.21) and alcohol drinking (OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.55– 4.84) were positively correlated (both p < 0.01), whereas prolonged sleep duration (2– 4 hours: OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.15– 0.95, 4– 6 hours: OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.06– 0.35, 6– 8 hours: OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.04– 0.34) was negatively correlated (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Increasing age, hyperlipemia and preoperative anxiety are consistently associated with transient pre-anesthesia BP elevation under both criteria. Further studies are required to confirm causal links and verify whether intervening on these correlates can reduce perioperative BP fluctuations.
