Incidence- and mortality-related risk factors of acute kidney injury requiring hemofiltration treatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a single-center 6-year experience.
To evaluate the incidence and mortality risk factors of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring hemofiltration treatment after cardiac surgery. ⋯ The risk of developing severe AKI depended on the type of cardiac surgical procedure. Thirty-day mortality was associated with severe perioperative circulation impairment or bleeding, but overall long-term mortality was additionally predicted by age, postoperative myocardial infarct, and preoperative circulation status.

Risk factors for gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
To determine the risk factors for the development of gastrointestinal complications (GICs) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. ⋯ A delayed diagnosis of complications is an important problem in the management of major surgical GICs. The present results suggest that surgeons and intensivists must be alert to patients older than 70 years, a cardiopulmonary bypass time longer than 60 minutes, reoperation for bleeding after CABG surgery, and postoperative creatinine level higher than 1.7 mg/dL.
