Risk Factors for Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiovascular Surgery: Evidence from 2,157 Cases and 49,777 Controls - A Meta-Analysis.
Cardiovascular surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI-CS) contributes to mortality and morbidity. However, risk factors accelerating its development are unclear. We identified risk factors for AKI-CS in patients with cardiopulmonary bypass in the hospital surgical intensive care unit to predict and minimize renal complication in future cardiac surgery. ⋯ Our results support that preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors are associated with AKI-CS. Ejection fraction, BMI, acute myocardial infarction, type of surgery, and congestive heart failure were not absolutely associated with AKI.
