Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a frequent post-operative complication associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidity and hospital costs. Preoperative risk scores such as the Cleveland Clinic Scoring Tool (CCST) have been validated in Western population group to identify patients at higher risk of AKI and may facilitate preventive strategies. However, the scoring tool has not been validated systematically in a South Asian cohort. We aimed to evaluate the applicability of the CCST in prediction of AKI after open cardiac surgery in a South-Indian tertiary care center. A retrospective study of all patients who underwent elective open cardiac surgery over a 4year period from Jan 2012 to Dec 2015 at a single centre were included and relevant details extracted from a comprehensive chart review. The primary outcome was AKI as defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Patients were risk stratified as per the CCST to assess for prediction of AKI into low risk (0-2), intermediate risk (3-5) and high risk (>6) groups. A total of 276 patients underwent open cardiac surgery with mean age of 51.5±13.06 yrs. This included 177 (64.1%) males and 99 females (35.8%). Overall incidence ...Continue Reading
