Time to peak bilirubin concentration and advanced AKI were associated with increased mortality in rheumatic heart valve replacement surgery patients with severe postoperative hyperbilirubinemia: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperbilirubinemia after heart valve surgery (HVS) with cardiopulmonary bypass is frequently observed and associated with worse outcomes. We investigated the characteristics and prognosis of patients with severe hyperbilirubinemia after HVS for rheumatic heart disease (RHD) to identify the clinical outcomes and potential risk factors.

Methods

Between 2015 and 2018, patients who underwent HVS in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit of our hospital were retrospectively screened. Risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI), the requirement for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and in-hospital and long-term mortality were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. The patient survival proportion was graphically presented with the Kaplan-Meier met
