Increased Risk of Postoperative Complications in Patients with Hypertension Undergoing Mohs Micrographic Surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hypertension has been previously associated with higher intraoperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery. However, the risks of common postoperative Mohs micrographic surgery complications have not been substantiated by large studies. Our study aimed to assess the risks of common Mohs micrographic surgery complications for patients with hypertension utilizing the TriNetX database, a global health records database encompassing over 105 million patients' data, from January 2009 to January 2024. After 1:1 propensity score matching for age, sex, race, diabetes, nicotine dependence, obesity, and anticoagulant use, the final analysis included 80,739 patients in each cohort of patients with hypertension and matched controls. We found that within a 60-day postoperative period, patients with hypertension had a significantly higher risk of bleeding both intraoperatively (OR = 2.19, 95% confidence interval = 1.39-3.46) and postoperatively (OR = 2.11, 95% confidence interval = 1.44-3.09). In addition, patients with hypertension faced a significantly higher risk of various postoperative infections such as gangrene (OR = 2.17, 95% confidence interval = 1.24-3.79) and impaired wound healing (OR = 1.25, 95% confidence interval = 1.06-1.48). Results did not vary significantly by stage of hypertension. Essential hypertension is associated with significantly increased intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage, infections, and wound disruptions; thus, it may be beneficial to assess and risk stratify patients with hypertension before performing Mohs micrographic surgery.
