A Comparison Between Two Definitions of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury for Long-Term Mortality in Elderly and Non-elderly Patients After Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Background: Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is responsible for a substantial proportion of the observed mortality that occurs after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly in elderly patients. However, there has been significant and debate over whether the optimal definition of CA-AKI persists over prolonged periods due to variations in the prevalence and effects on prognosis. In this study, we aimed to identify whether different definitions of CA-AKI exert differential impacts on long-term mortality when compared between elderly and non-elderly patients receiving elective PCI. Methods: We prospectively investigated 5,587 consenting patients undergoing elective PCI between January 2012 and December 2018. We considered two classical definitions
