ABSTRACT: Background
Identifying patients at increased risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) can help target risk mitigation strategies toward these individuals during percutaneous coronary intervention. Illuminating which risk models best stratify risk is an important foundation for such quality improvement efforts.Methods and results
Seven previously published risk prediction models for CA-AKI and 3 models for kidney injury requiring dialysis were validated using 2 definitions for CA-AKI (the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes definition of ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 hours or ≥50% increase in serum creatinine from baseline within 7 days and the historical definition of ≥0.5 mg/dL or ≥25% increase in serum creatinine from baseline within 48 hours), and AKI requir
