Association of the perfusion index with postoperative acute kidney injury: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many studies have examined the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), but few have focused on intraoperative peripheral perfusion index (PPI) that has recently been shown to be associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative PPI and postoperative AKI under the hypothesis that lower intraoperative PPI is associated with AKI occurrence.

Methods

We retrospectively searched electronic medical records to identify patients who underwent surgery at the general surgery department from May 2021 to November 2021. Patient baseline characteristics, pre- and post-operative laboratory test results, comorbidities, intraoperative vital signs, and discharge profiles were obtai
