Gender differences and risk factors for acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery: A single center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We studied AKI incidence and prognosis in cardiac surgery patients under and over 60 years old.

Methods

We studied AKI in patients who underwent cardiac surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between Jan 2020 and Dec 2021, using improved global prognostic criteria for diagnosis.

Results

After analyzing 781 patients (402 males, 379 females), AKI incidence after surgery was 30.22 %. Adjusting for propensity scores revealed no significant difference in AKI incidence between young males (24.1 %) and females (19.3 %). However, young females had higher AKI stages. Among older patients, AKI incidence was comparable between males (43.4 %) and females (42.2 %), but females had longer intubation times. Independent risk factors for AKI
