Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury: risk factors analysis and comparison of prediction models.

摘要

OBJECTIVES: ududCardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known factor influencing patients' long-term morbidity and mortality. Several prediction models of AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) have been developed. Only a few direct comparisons of these models have been done. Recently, a new, more uniform and objective definition of AKI has been proposed [Kidney Disease: Improve Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-AKI]. The performance of these prediction models has not yet been tested. ----- METHODS: ududPreoperative demographic and clinical characteristics of 1056 consecutive adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery were collected retrospectively for the period 2012-2014. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors of AKI-D and the KDIGO-AKI stages. Risk scores of five prediction models were calculated using corresponding subgroups of patients. The discrimination of these models was calculated by the c-statistics (area under curve, AUC) and the calibration was evaluated for the model with the highest AUC by calibration plots. ----- RESULTS: ududThe incidence of AKI-D was 3.5% and for KDIGO-AKI 23% (17.3% for Stage 1, 2.1% for Stage 2 and 3.6% for Stage 3). Older age, atrial fibrillation, NYHA class III or IV heart failure, previous cardiac surgery, higher preoperative serum creatinine and endocarditis were independently associated with the development of AKI-D. For KDIGO-AKI, higher body mass index, older age, female gender, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, previous cardiac surgery, atrial fibrillation, NYHA class III or IV heart failure, higher preoperative serum creatinine and the use of cardiopulmonary bypass were independent predictors. The model by Thakar et al. showed the best performance in the prediction of AKI-D (AUC 0.837; 95% CI = 0.810-0.862) and also in the prediction of KDIGO-AKI stage 1 and higher (AUC = 0.731; 95% CI = 0.639-0.761), KDIGO-AKI stage 2 and higher (AUC = 0.811; 95% CI = 0.783-0.838) and for KDIGO-AKI stage 3 (AUC = 0.842; 95% CI = 0.816-0.867). ----- CONCLUSIONS: ududThe performance of known prediction models for AKI-D was found reasonably well in the prediction of KDIGO-AKI, with the model by Thakar having the highest predictive value in the discrimination of patients with risk for all KDIGO-AKI stages.
