Survival and Risk Factors Among Dialytic Acute Kidney Injury Patients After Cardiovascular Surgery
Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent postoperative complication after
cardiovascular surgery. It has been described as a predictor of decreased
survival rates, but how dialysis decreases survival when initiated on the
postoperative period has yet to be determined. To analyze the survival of
patients who presented postoperative AKI requiring dialysis up to 30 days
after cardiovascular surgery and its risk factors is the aim of this study.Methods: Of the 5,189 cardiovascular surgeries performed in a 4-year period, 157
patients developed AKI requiring dialysis in the postoperative period. The
Kaplan-Meier su ...
