Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elucidate the association between IV contrast media CT and acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality among patients requiring emergency admission. DESIGN In this retrospective observational study, we examined AKI within 48 hours after CT, renal replacement therapy (RRT) dependence at discharge, and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT or nonenhanced CT. We performed 1:1 propensity score matching to adjust for confounders in the association between IV contrast media use and outcomes. Subgroup analyses were performed according to age, sex, diagnosis at admission, ICU admission, and preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD). SETTING AND PATIENTS This study used the Medical Data Vision database between 2008 and 2019. This database is Japan's largest commercially available hospital-based claims database, covering about 45% of acute-care hospitals in Japan, and it also records laboratory results. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The study included 144,149 patients with (49,057) and without (95,092) contrast media exposure, from which 43,367 propensity score-matched pairs were generated. Between the propensity score-matched groups of overall patients, exposure to contrast media showed no significant risk of AKI (4.6% vs. 5.1%; odds ratio [OR], 0.899; 95% CI, 0.845-0.958) or significant risk of RRT dependence (0.6% vs. 0.4%; OR, 1.297; 95% CI, 1.070-1.574) and significant benefit for in-hospital mortality (5.4% vs. 6.5%; OR, 0.821; 95% CI, 0.775-0.869). In subgroup analyses regarding preexisting CKD, exposure to contrast media was a significant risk for AKI in patients with CKD but not in those without CKD. CONCLUSIONS In this large-scale observational study, IV contrast media was not associated with an increased risk of AKI but concurrently showed beneficial effects on in-hospital mortality among patients requiring emergency admission.

Abstract
Previous studies have identified numerous risk factors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing coronary angiography. However, the association between anemia and CI-AKI remains conflicting. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to further clarify the relationship between anemia and CI-AKI. PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception to June 2020 to identify eligible studies. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the correlation between anemia and CI-AKI. The potential publication bias was estimated using funnel plot and Begg's test. A total of 13 studies (five case-control studies and eight cohort studies) comprising 27,135 patients were included. The pooled results showed that anemia was a significant risk factor of CI-AKI (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.27-2.61). Moreover, the results of subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were basically consistent with the overall pooled result. Funnel plot and Begg's test indicated that there existed potential publication bias, but the result of trim and filled analysis showed that the pooled results kept stable after adding 'missing' studies. This meta-analysis suggested that anemia may be correlated with an increased incidence of CI-AKI in patients undergoing coronary angiography. However, our conclusions should be interpreted with caution due to some limitations. Therefore, further high-quality trials should be conducted to confirm our findings.

Emergency angiography for trauma patients and potential association with acute kidney injury. World J Emerg Surg 2021; 16:56. [PMID: 34736506 PMCID: PMC8567733 DOI: 10.1186/s13017-021-00400-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiography has been conducted as a hemostatic procedure for trauma patients. While several complications, such as tissue necrosis after embolization, have been reported, little is known regarding subsequent acute kidney injury (AKI) due to contrast media. To elucidate whether emergency angiography would introduce kidney dysfunction in trauma victims, we compared the incidence of AKI between patients who underwent emergency angiography and those who did not. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a nationwide trauma database (2004-2019), and adult trauma patients were included. The indication of emergency angiography was determined by both trauma surgeons and radiologists, and AKI was diagnosed by treating physicians based on a rise in serum creatinine and/or fall in urine output according to any published standard criteria. Incidence of AKI was compared between patients who underwent emergency angiography and those who did not. Propensity score matching was conducted to adjust baseline characteristics including age, comorbidities, mechanism of injury, vital signs on admission, Injury Severity Scale (ISS), degree of traumatic kidney injury, surgical procedures, and surgery on the kidney, such as nephrectomy and nephrorrhaphy. RESULTS Among 230,776 patients eligible for the study, 14,180 underwent emergency angiography. The abdomen/pelvis was major site for angiography (10,624 [83.5%]). Embolization was performed in 5,541 (43.5%). Propensity score matching selected 12,724 pairs of severely injured patients (median age, 59; median ISS, 25). While the incidence of AKI was rare, it was higher among patients who underwent emergency angiography than in those who did not (140 [1.1%] vs. 67 [0.5%]; odds ratio = 2.10 [1.57-2.82]; p < 0.01). The association between emergency angiography and subsequent AKI was observed regardless of vasopressor usage or injury severity in subgroup analyses. CONCLUSIONS Emergency angiography in trauma patients was probably associated with increased incidence of AKI. The results should be validated in future studies.

Abstract
Introduction contrast media are increasingly used in diagnostic and interventional procedures but are also known causes of acute kidney injury - a condition known as contrast induced nephropathy (CIN). We aimed to determine the magnitude and associated factors of CIN among patients undergoing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention at a cardiac referral hospital in Tanzania. Methods all adult patients undergoing elective coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention at Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute were consecutively enrolled between August 2017 and January 2018, if they fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Pre-procedure, 24- and 72-hours' post procedure serum creatinine was measured. CIN was defined as increase of ≥25% or absolute increase of ≥44μmol/L of serum creatinine within 72 hours following exposure to contrast media. Data analysis were done using SPSS Version 20. P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results in total, 210 (94.6%) out of 222 patients seen during the study period fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were enrolled. Their mean (SD) age was 61.3 (10.9) years and 64.3% were men. Hypertension, diabetes, smoking and alcohol consumption was present in 86.7%, 37.7%, 12.4% and 37.6% respectively. The incidence of CIN was 19% within 72 hours post procedure. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, independent factors for developing CIN were history of heart failure (aOR=7.34), central obesity (aOR=3.12), triple vessel disease (aOR=10.14) and post procedure stay of ≥3 days (aOR=4.1), all p<0.05. Conclusion the incidence of CIN found in this population is high (19%) and is associated with heart failure, obesity, multi-vessel disease and longer post-procedure hospital stay.

Early brain computed tomographic angiography to screen for blunt cerebrovascular injuries in patients with polytrauma: Is it necessary? Am J Emerg Med 2020; 39:121-124. [PMID: 32005409 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2020.01.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2019] [Revised: 12/31/2019] [Accepted: 01/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is among the most difficult challenges in trauma treatment. This study aimed to determine the optimal timing of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) screening for suspicious BCVI in patients with polytrauma. METHODS We reviewed the trauma registry and medical records of patients with head and neck injuries from a Level I trauma center between January 2012 and December 2016. Those receiving CTA within 24 h of presentation at the emergency department were the primary CTA group; those who received CTA after 24 h were the delayed CTA group. The basic demographics, indications for CTA, CTA severity grading, and outcomes were compared. RESULTS In all, 228 patients received brain CTA. Most were male (75%); the mean age was around 40 years. The 38 patients with positive BCVI had a significantly higher ratio of severe chest trauma (52.6% vs 25.8%, p = 0.001); 26 of them received primary CTA and 12 received delayed CTA. Patients with polytrauma predominated in the delayed CTA group (66.7% vs 30.8%, p = 0.037). Of the patients in the primary CTA group, 26.9% received CTA due to symptomatic presentation (p = 0.047). Patients in the delayed group had better neurological outcomes (83% neurologically intact, vs 38.5%, p = 0.01) and lower mortality (0% vs 26.9%, p = 0.047). The only independent positive prognostic factor was initial motor response ≥M5 (Odds Ratio 21.46, 95% Confidence Interval 2.01-228.71). CONCLUSIONS For patients with polytrauma, performing brain CTA for BCVI screening in the first 24-h or after may not affect clinical outcome. Initial motor response is the sole indicator for outcome. Delaying the study for to the next 24-hour can be considered in such patients, when regarding hemodynamic stability, the dose of contrast medium, and the radiation exposure.

Efficacy of nicorandil on the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Coron Artery Dis 2019; 31:284-288. [PMID: 31658134 DOI: 10.1097/mca.0000000000000826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of nicorandil on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS This study randomized 300 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to receive conventional treatment in the control group (hydration only; n = 150) vs. nicorandil therapy (nicorandil 10 mg three times daily plus hydration; n = 150). The primary endpoint was the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy, defined as rise in serum creatinine ≥44.2 μmol/L or >25% above baseline within 72 hours after exposure to contrast administered during percutaneous coronary intervention. Secondary endpoints included differences in post-percutaneous coronary intervention serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine clearance rate, cystatin-C, and occurrence of major adverse events. RESULTS Contrast-induced nephropathy incidence was 3.3% (5/150) in the nicorandil group vs. 10.7% (16/150) in the control group (P < 0.05). At 48 and 72 hours after contrast administration, cystatin-C levels were significantly lower and creatinine clearance rate were significantly higher with nicroandil therapy compared to conventional treatment (all P values <0.05). No statistical difference was observed in the incidence of major post-procedure side effect events in hospital and fourteen days of follow-up period between the nicorandil group and control group (3.3% vs. 4.0%, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Compared to conventional treatment, oral nicorandil therapy was associated with less contrast-induced nephropathy and improved renal function following contrast administration during percutaneous coronary intervention.
