The impact of relative hypotension on acute kidney injury progression after cardiac surgery: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac surgery is performed worldwide, and acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a risk factor for mortality. However, the optimal blood pressure target to prevent AKI after cardiac surgery remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether relative hypotension and other hemodynamic parameters after cardiac surgery are associated with subsequent AKI progression.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled adult patients admitted to 14 intensive care units after elective cardiac surgery between January and December 2018. We defined mean perfusion pressure (MPP) as the difference between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and central venous pressure (CVP). The main exposure variables were time-weighted-average MPP-deficit (i.e., the percentage difference between preoperative and postoperative MPP) and time spent with MPP-deficit > 20% within the first 24 h. We defined other pressure-related hemodynamic parameters during the initial 24 h as exploratory exposure variables. The primary outcome was AKI progression, defined as one or more AKI stages using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes' creatinine and urine output criteria between 24 and 72 h. We used multivariable logistic regression analyses to assess the association between the exposure variables and AKI progression.

Results

Among the 746 patients enrolled, the median time-weighted-average MPP-deficit was 20% [interquartile range (IQR): 10-27%], and the median duration with MPP-deficit > 20% was 12 h (IQR: 3-20 h). One-hundred-and-twenty patients (16.1%) experienced AKI progression. In the multivariable analyses, time-weighted-average MPP-deficit or time spent with MPP-deficit > 20% was not associated with AKI progression [odds ratio (OR): 1.01, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.99-1.03]. Likewise, time spent with MPP-deficit > 20% was not associated with AKI progression (OR: 1.01, 95% CI 0.99-1.04). Among exploratory exposure variables, time-weighted-average CVP, time-weighted-average MPP, and time spent with MPP < 60 mmHg were associated with AKI progression (OR: 1.12, 95% CI 1.05-1.20; OR: 0.97, 95% CI 0.94-0.99; OR: 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.06, respectively).

Conclusions

Although higher CVP and lower MPP were associated with AKI progression, relative hypotension was not associated with AKI progression in patients after cardiac surgery. However, these findings were based on exploratory investigation, and further studies for validating them are required.

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:BackgroundDespite the long-lasting notion about the substantial contribution of intraoperative un-stabilization of homeostasis factors on the incidence on acute kidney injury (AKI), the possible influence of intraoperative glucose or lactate management, as a modifiable factor, on the development of AKI remains inconclusive.ObjectivesTo investigated the relationship between intraoperative hyperglycemia, hyperlactatemia, and postoperative AKI in cardiac surgery.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among 4,435 adult patients who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery from July 2019 to March 2022. Intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were defined as blood glucose levels >10 mmol/L and lactate levels >2 mmol/L, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI. All statistical analyses, including t tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, chi-square tests, Fisher's exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, logistic regression models, subgroup analyses, collinearity analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis, were performed using the statistical software program R version 4.1.1.ResultsAmong the 4,435 patients in the ﬁnal analysis, a total of 734 (16.55%) patients developed AKI after on-pump cardiac surgery. All studied intraoperative metabolic disorders was associated with increased AKI risk, with most pronounced odds ratio (OR) noted for both hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were present intraoperatively [adjusted OR 3.69, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 2.68-5.13, p < 0.001]. Even when hyperglycemia or hyperlactatemia was present alone, the risk of postoperative AKI remained elevated (adjusted OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.50-2.60, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe presence of intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia may be associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Proper and timely interventions for these metabolic disorders are crucially important in mitigating the risk of AKI.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following non-cardiac surgery with adverse short- and long- term morbidity and mortality. Evidence shows that hypoalbuminemia is associated with increased AKI risk in patients with infectious diseases and cancer and following cardiac surgery and transplant surgery. However, little evidence is available on non-cardiac surgery population. Thus, we investigated the association between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and AKI following non-cardiac surgery.MethodsWe retrospectively assessed perioperative risk factors and preoperative serum albumin concentration in 729 consecutive adult patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018. Each patient was categorized according to maximal Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria based on creatinine changes and urine output within the first week after surgery. Multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between preoperative hypoalbuminemia and postoperative AKI.ResultsOf 729 patients, 188 (25.8%) developed AKI. AKI incidence was higher in patients with preoperative serum albumin <?37.5?g/L than in those with preoperative serum albumin ?37.5?g/L [35.9% (98/273) vs. 19.7% (90/456), P <?0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative serum albumin <?37.5?g/L (odds ratio 1.892; 95% confidence interval 1.238-2.891; P =?0.003) was independently associated with postoperative AKI. Patients with preoperative serum albumin <?37.5?g/L tended to have a higher but not significant ratio in AKI stage 2 (2.6% vs 1.1%, P =?0.144) and much higher ratio in AKI stage 3 (4.8% vs 0.7%, P <?0.001) than those with preoperative serum albumin ?37.5?g/L. AKI patients had a higher in-hospital mortality rate [6.9% (13/188) vs. 0.2% (1/541), P <?0.001]. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the cumulative survival rate decreased with increasing AKI severity (P <?0.001). Postoperative AKI was also associated with other worse outcomes, such as prolonged mechanical ventilation [53.4 (33.0, 73.8) vs 14.7 (11.1, 18.3) hours, P?<?0.001], intensive care unit stay [4.0 (3.1, 4.9) vs 2.0 (1.8, 2.3) days, P?<?0.001], postoperative hospital stay [17.8 (14.8, 20.9) vs 12.3 (11.3, 13.3) days, P?<?0.001], and higher total cost [13,453 (8538, 20,228) vs 11,306 (6277, 16,400) dollars, P?<?0.001].ConclusionsPreoperative hypoalbuminemia was independently associated with AKI after non-cardiac surgery, and postoperative AKI was associated with poor outcomes.
