Adult congenital heart disease: frequency, risk factors and outcomes of acute kidney injury in postoperative period.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) in adults is poorly studied despite being well-recognized as a postoperative complication after cardiac surgery in adults. The primary aim of our study was to determine the frequency of AKI in adults undergoing surgery for CHD. We also aimed to determine risk factors and predictors of AKI in this patient population, and to explore outcomes in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospital stay.

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study included all adult patients (18 years) who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for their congenital heart problems from January 2011 to December 2016 in a tertiary-care private hospital.
