Evaluation of the Cleveland Clinic Score for predicting acute kidney injury across different elective cardiac surgeries-a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a serious postoperative complication associated with an increased risk of mortality. The Cleveland Clinic Score (CCS) is one of the tools that allows preoperative assessment of the likelihood of developing AKI. However, the tool has not been validated in different types of cardiac surgery procedures. Our aim was to evaluate the CCS before different types of cardiac surgery and to assess the usefulness of this tool as a predictor of AKI.

Methods

In this retrospective study we included patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery in 2023. Our endpoint was AKI, as defined by the Kidney Diseases Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The predictive value for AKI after cardiac surgery (CCS) was evaluated using
