AbstractIntroduction : The optimal target of mean arterial pressure (MAP) during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is unknown. Method : We retrospectively collected the hourly MAP data in acute kidney injury patients requiring CRRT who admitted to the intensive care unit in the University of Tokyo hospital during 2011-2019. Patients who died within 48 h of CRRT start and whose average value of hourly MAPs during the first 48 h was <65 mm Hg were excluded. When the average value of MAP was ≤75 mm Hg or >75 mm Hg, patients were allocated to the low or high target group. We estimated the effect of MAP on mortality and RRT independence at 90 days, using multivariable the Cox regression model and Fine and Gray model. Result : Of the 275 patients we analyzed, 95 patients were in the low group. There are no differences in sex, baseline kidney function, and disease severity. At 90 days, the low target group had higher mortality with 38 deaths (40.0%) compared with 57 deaths (31.7%) in the high target group ( P < 0.05). The adjusted hazard ratio of the low target group (≤75 mm Hg) for mortality was 1.72 (95% CI, 1.08-2.74). In addition, the low target group had a lower rate of RRT independence, with 60 patients (63.2%) compared with 136 patients (75.6%) in the high target group ( P < 0.05). The multivariable analysis revealed that the adjusted hazard ratio of the low target group for RRT independence was 0.74 (95% CI, 0.54-1.01). Conclusion : This study found the association with low MAP and mortality. The association with low MAP and delayed renal recovery was not revealed.Copyright © 2023 by the Shock Society.
