Background
Previous studies showed that AKI is an independent predictor of long-term mortality after adjustment for comorbidities. However, these studies did not account for inflammation and malnutrition, which is associated with increased mortality in CKD.
Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study. Inclusion criteria were adult patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia from 2007 to 2010. Exclusion criteria were urological or obstetric surgery, missing creatinine values, and preoperative dialysis. The exposure of interest was AKI, defined by KDIGO criteria, within 1 week postoperatively. Outcome variable was all-cause mortality. Statistical analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression model.
Results
Among 1,704 patients, 129 developed AKI. During median follow-up of 3.9 years, the mortality of patients with AKI and without AKI were 27.9%, and 14.7%, respectively. AKI was independently associated with all-cause mortality after adjustment for comorbidities. After further adjustment for C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin, the association between AKI and mortality was not significant (Table). Among non-users of statin and users of statin, adjusted HR of mortality (AKI vs no-AKI) was 1.92 (1.32-2.81) and 0.57 (0.15-2.23), respectively.
Conclusion
Attenuation of the association between AKI and all-cause mortality by adjustment for albumin and CRP suggested that inflammation and malnutrition, which predisposing patients to AKI , are predictors of increased all-cause mortality after AKI. Anti-inflammatory agents, such as statins, may improve long-term outcome after AKI.
The association between postoperative AKI and all-cause mortality
HR(95%C.I) | |
Model 1 | 1.72(1.19-2.46) |
Model 1 + CRP | 1.59(1.10-2.31) |
Model 1 + CRP + Alb | 1.17(0.77-1.76) |
Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, eGFR, and history of DM, hypertension, malignancy, and cardiovascular diseases.
