Acute Kidney Injury after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Risk Factor Analysis
Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is known to be a driving factor for prolonged hospital stay and mortality. Thus, identification of risk factors that can predict the risk of postoperative occurrence of AKI is of utmost importance.
Method: From 01/2015 to 05/2017, a total of 7,222 consecutive patients without end stage renal disease who underwent isolated CABG were included in the multicenter E-CABG registry. To identify risk factors for the occurrence of AKI stage 2 or 3, we used multivariate logistic regression analysis. The impact of AKI on mortality was evaluated using cox regression analysis.
Results: Mean age was 67.4 ± 9.4 years with 83.7% male patients. AKI stage 2 or 3 occurred in 366 patients. Overall 30-day and 6-month mortality was 1.6% and 3.0%, respectively.
Statistically significant independent risk factors for development of AKI are shown in[Table 1].
Age (>75 years), gender, PCI within 7 days preoperatively, presence of diabetes, hypertension, elevated creatinine level (>1.1 mg/dL), STEMI, out of hospital cardiac arrest, preoperative hemodynamic instability and LVEF <30% were included into the regression model, but did not reach statistical significance. Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed hazard ratios for 30-day and 6-month mortality in patients with development of AKI stage 2 or 3 of 22.1 (CI: 15.3–31.9) and 15.0 (CI: 11.2–20.1), respectively.
Conclusion: Especially patients with high BMI, preoperative anemia and postoperative complications are at high risk of AKI. Considering the strong association of postprocedural AKI with mortality reflected by the high HR in cox regression analysis, surgical as well as interventional treatment options should be weighed against each other in the interdisciplinary heart team in patients with risk factors for AKI.
