Postoperative Serum Creatinine Serves as a Prognostic Predictor of Cardiac Surgery Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Serum creatinine, an important diagnostic indicator for acute kidney injury (AKI), was considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the significance of postoperative serum creatinine in predicting the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients.

Methods

The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database was used to extract the clinical data. Adult (≥18 years) cardiac surgery patients in the database were enrolled. The correlation of postoperative serum creatinine with lengths of intensive care unit (ICU) stay was analyzed with Spearman correlation, and the association of postoperative serum creatinine with hospital mortality was analyzed with chi-square tests. Multivariable logistic regression was used
