Age-Dependent Risk of Long-Term All-Cause Mortality in Patients Post-Myocardial Infarction and Acute Kidney Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and the risk for long-term (up to 10 years) all-cause mortality among elderly compared with younger patients following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

This study was a retrospective analysis of the Soroka Acute Myocardial Infarction registry and covered the years 2002 to 2017. It included patients diagnosed with an AMI who had a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m² and serum creatinine measurements available during hospitalization. The patients were stratified by age: elderly (aged 65 years or older at admission) and younger. In each stratum, two groups were defined based on the presence of an AKI. The survival approach
