Optimization of Pre-surgical Testing With an Intensive Multifactorial Intervention to MinimiZe Cardiovascular Events in Orthopedic Surgery

This trial is designed to determine the best preoperative management strategy for patients
undergoing orthopedic surgery.

OPTIMIZE - OS (Optimization of Pre-surgical Testing with an Intensive Multifactorial
Intervention to MinimiZe Cardiovascular Events - Orthopedic Surgery) trial is to determine
the best management strategy for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. OPTIMIZE will be a
prospective randomized trial that will enroll patients during pre-surgical testing before
orthopedic surgery. This trial will investigate different strategies aimed at lowering
cardiovascular events following orthopedic surgery. The study will compare an intensive
multifactorial intervention comprising behavioral modification and polypharmacologic therapy
aimed at several modifiable risk factors versus usual care. The trial hypothesis is that a
personalized optimization approach is superior to usual care in reducing a composite of
death, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial necrosis, venous
thromboembolism or thrombosis requiring reoperation at 30-days. Secondary endpoints include
length of stay, major bleeding, each individual endpoint from the primary endpoint, and
quality of life.
