Postoperative acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy and outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting: a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies reported that patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after cardiac surgery were at a higher risk of postoperative mortality. However, the impact of AKI and CRRT on long-term mortality has not yet been identified. Therefore, we investigated whether postoperative AKI requiring CRRT was associated with one-year all-cause mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods

For this population-based cohort study, we analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Service database in South Korea. The cohort included all adult patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease who underwent isolated CABG between January 2012 and December 2017.

Results

A total of 15,115 patients were i
