Multicenter StudyAcute kidney disease beyond day 7 after major surgery: a secondary analysis of the EPIS-AKI trial.
Acute kidney disease (AKD) is a significant health care burden worldwide. However, little is known about this complication after major surgery. ⋯ One in ten major surgery patients developed AKD beyond 7 days after surgery, in most cases without an episode of early postoperative-AKI. However, early postoperative-AKI severity and duration were associated with an increased rate of AKD and early postoperative-AKI was strongly associated with AKD independent of all other potential risk factors.
