Mortality and cardiovascular events in adults with kidney failure after major non-cardiac surgery: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with kidney failure have a high incidence of major surgery, though the risk of perioperative outcomes at a population-level is unknown. Our objective was to estimate the proportion of people with kidney failure that experience acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or death within 30 days of major non-cardiac surgery, based on surgery type.

Methods

In this retrospective population-based cohort study, we used administrative health data to identify adults from Alberta, Canada with major surgery between April 12,005 and February 282,017 that had preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) < 15 mL/min/1.73m² or received chronic dialysis. The index surgical procedure for each participant was categorized within one of fourteen surgical groupi
