A simple risk score model for predicting contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary angiography in patients with diabetes.
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common complication in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and associated with poor outcome. Some previous studies have already set up models to predict CIN, but there is no model for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) especially. Therefore, we aim to develop and validate a simple risk score for predicting the risk of CIN in patients with DM undergoing CAG/PCI. ⋯ Our data suggest that the new simple risk score might be a good tool for predicting CIN in patients with DM undergoing CAG/PCI.
