Preoperative renal insufficiency predicts postoperative adverse outcomes in a mixed surgical population: a retrospective matched cohort study using the NSQIP database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing, but most cases are not diagnosed until the accidental finding of abnormal laboratory data or the presentation of severe symptoms. Patients with chronic kidney disease are reported to have an increased risk of postoperative mortality and morbidities, but previous studies mainly targeted populations undergoing cardiovascular surgery. The authors aimed to evaluate the risk of postoperative mortality and complications in a surgical population with preoperative renal insufficiency (RI).

Materials and methods

This retrospective cohort study used data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between 2013 and 2018 to evaluate the risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality in the surgical popu
