Risk factors and outcomes associated with acute kidney injury following extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) is an important operation for the treatment of complex congenital heart disease. Epidemiology and outcomes for pediatric patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) following extracardiac TCPC have not been well documented. This study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in children after extracardiac TCPC surgery.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated patients (age at surgery <18 years) who underwent extracardiac TCPC surgery between January 2008 and January 2020 in the Pediatric Cardiac Surgical Center of Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China. AKI was defined according to the pediatric-modified risk, injury, failure, loss of function, and end-stage renal disease criteria.

Results

A total of 377 pediatric
