Revised cardiac risk index in predicting cardiovascular complications in patients receiving chronic kidney replacement therapy undergoing elective general surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is a six-parameter model that is commonly used in assessing individual 30-day perioperative cardiovascular risk before general surgery, but its use in patients on chronic kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is unvalidated. This study aimed to externally validate RCRI in this patient group over a 15-year period.

Methods

Data linkage was used between the the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry and jurisdictional hospital admisisons data across Australia and New Zealand to identify all incident and prevalent patients on chronic KRT between 2000 and 2015 who underwent elective abdominal surgery. Chronic KRT was categorised as haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), home haemodialysis (HHD) and
