Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to identify and validate novel biomarkers including functional tests for detecting AKI, AKI progression and other poor outcomes.

Detailed Description

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is the second most common type of AKI after septic AKI and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The progression of AKI with multiple organ failure can result in poor outcomes. Several novel biomarkers for earlier detection of AKI, discrimination of etiologies, and prediction of outcomes were developed. However, the availability of these novel biomarkers may be limited by its expense or reimbursement issues in different countries. In present study, we conduct a large cohort to identify and validate novel biomarkers including functional tests for detecting AKI, AKI progression and other poor outcomes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AKI progression7 days

worsening of KDIGO stage within 1 week (progressing from stage 1 to either stage 2 or stage 3, or from stage 2 to stage 3).

Patients diagnosed with progressive or persisting stage 3 AKI (stage 3 AKI for \>3 consecutive days) were classified as having AKI progression.

If patients who presented with stage 3 AKI but not requiring RRT subsequently required dialysis or developing persist severe AKI or death within 7 days, this was considered progression.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AKI occurrence at 7 days7 days

AKI was defined based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.

Persistent AKI90 days

Persistent AKI is characterized by the continuance of AKI by serum creatinine or urine output criteria (as defined by KDIGO) beyond 48h from AKI onset.

Mortality365 days

Mortality at 30 days, 90 days and 365 days

AKI progression to stage 37 days

worsening of KDIGO stage to stage 3 within 1 week (progressing from stage 1 or stage 2 to stage 3).

AKI occurrence at 3 days3 days

AKI was defined based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.

Length of stay in the ICU90 days

Length of stay in the ICU

Receipt of renal replacement treatment365 days

Patients received renal replacement treatment during hospital stay

Major adverse kidney events365 days

MAKE was defined as the composite of≥25% loss in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), dialysis, or death. Estimated GFR was calculated from serum creatinine using the MDRD equation

Persist severe AKI90 days

Persistent severe AKI was defined as follows: Patients with stage 3 AKI at enrollment required a persistence of 72 hours or more to meet the end point.

Patients enrolled at stage 2 AKI required a progression to stage 3 within 48 hours and a persistence at stage 3 for 72 consecutive hours to be considered end point positive.

Additionally, patients with severe AKI who failed to achieve 72 hours due to death or the initiation of RRT were considered end point positive.
