Cardio- and Cerebrovascular Outcomes of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Noncardiac Surgical Patients With Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Background: The cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in surgical patients is poorly described, especially in the hypertensive population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among all hypertensive patients who underwent elective noncardiac surgery from January 1st, 2012 to August 1st, 2017 at the Third Xiangya Hospital. The primary outcomes were fatal stroke and fatal myocardial infarction (MI). The secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality. Results: The postoperative cumulative mortality within 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years were 1.27, 1.48, 2.15, 2.15, and 5.36%, for fatal stroke, and 2.05, 2.27, 2.70, 3.37, and 5.61% for fatal MI, respectively, in patients with postoperative AKI.
