Association Between Early Postoperative Acetaminophen Exposure and Acute Kidney Injury in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT: Importance:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication for pediatric cardiac surgery patients associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and length of stay. Current strategies focus on risk reduction and early identification because there are no known preventive or therapeutic agents. Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass lyse erythrocytes, releasing free hemoglobin and contributing to oxidative injury. Acetaminophen may prevent AKI by reducing the oxidation state of free hemoglobin. Objective:To test the hypothesis that early postoperative acetaminophen exposure is associated with reduced risk of AKI in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Design, Setting, and Participants:In this retrospective cohort study, the setting was 2 tertiary referral children's hospitals. The primary and validation cohorts included children older than 28 days admitted for cardiac surgery between July 1, 2008, and June 1, 2016. Exclusion criteria were postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and inadequate serum creatinine measurements to determine AKI status. Exposures:Acetaminophen exposure in the first 48 postoperative hours. Main Outcomes and Measures:Acute kidney injury based on Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine criteria (increase by ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline or at least 1.5-fold more than the baseline [to convert to micromoles per liter, multiply by 88.4]) in the first postoperative week. Results:The primary cohort (n = 666) had a median age of 6.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 3.9-44.7) months, and 341 (51.2%) had AKI. In unadjusted analyses, those with AKI had lower median acetaminophen doses than those without AKI (47 [IQR, 16-88] vs 78 [IQR, 43-104] mg/kg, P < .001). In logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, cardiopulmonary bypass time, red blood cell distribution width, postoperative hypotension, nephrotoxin exposure, and Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery score, acetaminophen exposure was protective against postoperative AKI (odds ratio, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.82-0.90] per each additional 10 mg/kg). Findings were replicated in the validation cohort (n = 333), who had a median age of 14.1 (IQR, 3.9-158.2) months, and 162 (48.6%) had AKI. Acetaminophen doses were 60 (95% CI, 40-87) mg/kg in those with AKI vs 70 (95% CI, 45-94) mg/kg in those without AKI (P = .03), with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.84-0.99) for each additional 10 mg/kg. Conclusions and Relevance:These results indicate that early postoperative acetaminophen exposure may be associated with a lower rate of AKI in pediatric patients who undergo cardiac surgery. Further analysis to validate these findings, potentially through a prospective, randomized trial, may establish acetaminophen as a preventive agent for AKI.

Project description:Background: Previous studies have suggested that dexmedetomidine may have a protective effect on renal function. However, it is currently unclear whether perioperative dexmedetomidine administration is associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence risk in hypertensive patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Methods: This investigation was a retrospective cohort study. Hypertensive patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery in Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2018 to December 2019 were included. The relevant data were extracted through electronic cases. The univariable analysis identified demographic, preoperative laboratory, and intraoperative factors associated with acute kidney injury. Multivariable stepwise logistic regression was used to assess the association between perioperative dexmedetomidine administration and postoperative acute kidney injury after adjusting for interference factors. In addition, we further performed sensitivity analyses in four subgroups to further validate the robustness of the results. Results: A total of 5769 patients were included in this study, with a 7.66% incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury. The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury was lower in the dexmedetomidine-administered group than in the control group (4.12% vs. 8.06%, p < 0.001). In the multivariable stepwise logistic regression analysis, perioperative dexmedetomidine administration significantly reduced the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury after adjusting for interference factors [odds ratio (OR) = 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.36-0.87, p = 0.010]. In addition, sensitivity analysis in four subgroups indicated parallel findings: i) eGRF <90 mL/min·1.73/m2 subgroup (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.19-0.84, p = 0.016), ii) intraoperative blood loss <1000 mL subgroup (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.36-0.94, p = 0.025), iii) non-diabetes subgroup (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.29-0.89, p = 0.018), and iv) older subgroup (OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.32-0.93, p = 0.027). Conclusion: In conclusion, our study suggests that perioperative dexmedetomidine administration is associated with lower risk and less severity of postoperative acute kidney injury in hypertensive individuals undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Therefore, future large-scale RCT studies are necessary to validate this benefit.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common surgical complication and is associated with intraoperative hypotension. However, the total duration and magnitude of intraoperative hypotension associated with AKI remains unknown. In this study, the causal relationship between the intraoperative arterial pressure and postoperative AKI was investigated among chronic hypertension patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 6552 hypertension patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (2011 to 2019) was conducted. The primary outcome was AKI as diagnosed with the Kidney Disease-Improving Global Outcomes criteria and the primary exposure was intraoperative hypotension. Patients' baseline demographics, pre- and post-operative data were harvested and then analyzed with multivariable logistic regression to assess the exposure-outcome relationship.ResultsAmong 6552 hypertension patients, 579 (8.84%) had postoperative AKI after non-cardiac surgery. The proportions of patients admitted to ICU (3.97 vs. 1.24%, p < 0.001) and experiencing all-cause death (2.76 vs. 0.80%, p < 0.001) were higher in the patients with postoperative AKI. Moreover, the patients with postoperative AKI had longer hospital stays (13.50 vs. 12.00 days, p < 0.001). Intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 60 mmHg for >20 min was an independent risk factor of postoperative AKI. Furthermore, MAP <60 mmHg for >10 min was also an independent risk factor of postoperative AKI in patients whose MAP was measured invasively in the subgroup analysis.ConclusionsOur work suggested that MAP < 60 mmHg for >10 min measured invasively or 20 min measured non-invasively during non-cardiac surgery may be the threshold of postoperative AKI development in hypertension patients. This work may serve as a perioperative management guide for chronic hypertension patients.Trial registrationclinical trial number: ChiCTR2100050209 (8/22/2021). http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=132277.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To understand the effect of tight glycemic control on cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. DESIGN:Secondary analysis of data from the Safe Pediatric Euglycemia after Cardiac Surgery trial of tight glycemic control versus standard care. SETTING:Pediatric cardiac ICUs at University of Michigan, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, and Boston Children's Hospital. PATIENTS:Children 0-36 months old undergoing congenital cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury was assigned using the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria with the modification that a greater than 0.1?mg/dL increase in serum creatinine was required to assign cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. We explored associations between cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury and tight glycemic control and clinical outcomes. Of 799 patients studied, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury occurred in 289 patients (36%), most of whom had stage II or III disease (72%). Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rates were similar between treatment groups (36% vs 36%; p = 0.99). Multivariable modeling showed that patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury were younger (p = 0.002), underwent more complex surgery (p = 0.005), and had longer cardiopulmonary bypass times (p = 0.002). Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury was associated with longer mechanical ventilation and ICU and hospital stays and increased mortality. Patients at University of Michigan had higher rates of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury compared with Boston Children's Hospital patients (66% vs 15%; p < 0.001), but University of Michigan patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury had shorter time to extubation and ICU and hospital stays compared with Boston Children's Hospital patients. CONCLUSIONS:Tight glycemic control did not reduce the cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rate in this trial cohort. We observed significant differences in cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rates between the two study sites, and there was a differential effect of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury on clinical outcomes by site. These findings warrant further investigation to identify causal variation in perioperative practices that affect cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury epidemiology.
