Brief Summary: The study will investigate whether the presence of coronary artery calcium as demonstrated on pre-operative thoracic staging Computed Tomography CT is an independent risk factor for 90 day mortality in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery

The study research question Do higher levels of coronary calcification correlate to an increased risk of post-operative mortality in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery
Detailed Description: The study uses a retrospective observational study design

Due to the nature of the subject of the study and its retrospective design no patient contact will be necessary and all imaging reviewed will have been acquired as part of their routine level of care

Plan for the gathering of study data

A list of patients with the following surgical codes will be identified from the hospital surgical performance database to create retrospective dataset of 5 years worth of cases to December 2013 This date range may be extended to ensure an adequate sample size

Surgical codes Healthcare Resource Groups HRG codes to be included

F31 Large Intestine - Complex Procedures F32 Large Intestine - Very Major Procedures F33 Large Intestine - Major Procedures with complications and comorbidities w cc F34 Large Intestine - Major Procedures without complications and comorbidities wo cc F36 Large Intestinal Disorders 69 or w cc F37 Large Intestinal Disorders 70 wo cc

F41 General Abdominal - Very Major or Major Procedures patients over 69 years of age 69 or w cc F42 General Abdominal - Very Major or Major Procedures patients under 70 years of age 70 wo cc F46 General Abdominal Disorders 69 or w cc F47 General Abdominal Disorders 70 wo cc

Cross-reference with Somerset Cancer Register and remove any who were not recognised as having bowel cancer

This patient list will be cross-referenced with records of peri-operative mortality within 90 days

Propensity match each deceased patient to a patient who survived beyond 90 days Our matching rules will be in descending order of importance

HRG code
gender
cancer staging
Age-5yrs
American Society of Anesthesiologists ASA Grade

Where there are multiple potential matches then this will be resolved by consultation between the research team members

Pairs of CT scans deceased plus matched control will be procured from WebPACS Web Picture Archival Communication System

Scans will be anonymised and stored on a dedicated secure radiology research server

Abbreviated Calcium scores will be generated for all patients in the trial by a trained radiologist using the calcium scoring method Calcium burden will be recorded on a scale of 1-12 The radiologist will be blinded to the group that the patient belongs to to minimise bias

Scans deceased patients and matched controls will be analysed in batches of 30 pairs Radiologist s will be blinded to group allocation Scans will not be paired at the time of reading

Interim statistical analysis of calcium scores will be performed after each batch of scans
