BACKGROUND: Intra-operative hypotension is associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. A machine-learning-derived algorithm developed to predict hypotension based on arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms significantly reduced intra-operative hypotension. The algorithm calculates the likelihood of hypotension occurring within minutes, expressed as the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) which ranges from 0 to 100. Currently, HPI is only available for patients monitored with invasive ABP, which is restricted to high-risk procedures and patients. In this study, the performance of HPI, employing noninvasive continuous ABP measurements, is assessed. OBJECTIVES: The first aim was to compare the performance of the HPI algorithm, using noninvasive versus invasive ABP measurements, at a mathematically optimal HPI alarm threshold (Youden index). The second aim was to assess the performance of the algorithm using a HPI alarm threshold of 85 that is currently used in clinical trials. Hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 65 mmHg for at least 1 min. The predictive performance of the algorithm at different HPI alarm thresholds (75 and 95) was studied. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary academic medical centre. PATIENTS: Five hundred and seven adult patients undergoing general surgery. RESULTS: The performance of the algorithm with invasive and noninvasive ABP input was similar. A HPI alarm threshold of 85 showed a median [IQR] time from alarm to hypotension of 2.7 [1.0 to 7.0] min with a sensitivity of 92.7 (95% confidence interval [CI], 91.2 to 94.3), specificity of 87.6 (95% CI, 86.2 to 89.0), positive predictive value of 79.9 (95% CI, 77.7 to 82.1) and negative predictive value of 95.8 (95% CI, 94.9 to 96.7). A HPI alarm threshold of 75 provided a lower positive predictive value but a prolonged time from prediction to actual hypotension. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the algorithm can be employed using continuous noninvasive ABP waveforms. This opens up the potential to predict and prevent hypotension in a larger patient population. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical trials registration number NCT03533205.
