Preoperative risk prediction models for acute kidney injury after noncardiac surgery: an independent external validation cohort study. Br J Anaesth 2024; 133:508-518. [PMID: 38527923 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2024.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous models have been developed to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) after noncardiac surgery, yet there is a lack of independent validation and comparison among them. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search to review published risk prediction models for AKI after noncardiac surgery. An independent external validation was performed using a retrospective surgical cohort at a large Chinese hospital from January 2019 to October 2022. The cohort included patients undergoing a wide range of noncardiac surgeries with perioperative creatinine measurements. Postoperative AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes creatinine criteria. Model performance was assessed in terms of discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, AUROC), calibration (calibration plot), and clinical utility (net benefit), before and after model recalibration through intercept and slope updates. A sensitivity analysis was conducted by including patients without postoperative creatinine measurements in the validation cohort and categorising them as non-AKI cases. RESULTS Nine prediction models were evaluated, each with varying clinical and methodological characteristics, including the types of surgical cohorts used for model development, AKI definitions, and predictors. In the validation cohort involving 13,186 patients, 650 (4.9%) developed AKI. Three models demonstrated fair discrimination (AUROC between 0.71 and 0.75); other models had poor or failed discrimination. All models exhibited some miscalibration; five of the nine models were well-calibrated after intercept and slope updates. Decision curve analysis indicated that the three models with fair discrimination consistently provided a positive net benefit after recalibration. The results were confirmed in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS We identified three models with fair discrimination and potential clinical utility after recalibration for assessing the risk of acute kidney injury after noncardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition after surgery, however, the available data about nationwide epidemiology of postoperative AKI in China from large and high-quality studies are limited. This study aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of postoperative AKI among patients undergoing surgery in China. METHODS This was a large, multicentre, retrospective study performed in 16 tertiary medical centres in China. Adult patients (≥18 years of age) who underwent surgical procedures from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2019 were included. Postoperative AKI was defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes creatinine criteria. The associations of AKI and in-hospital outcomes were investigated using logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS Among 520 707 patients included in our study, 25 830 (5.0%) patients developed postoperative AKI. The incidence of postoperative AKI varied by surgery type, which was highest in cardiac (34.6%), urologic (8.7%) and general (4.2%) surgeries. A total of 89.2% of postoperative AKI cases were detected in the first 2 postoperative days. However, only 584 (2.3%) patients with postoperative AKI were diagnosed with AKI on discharge. Risk factors for postoperative AKI included older age, male sex, lower baseline kidney function, pre-surgery hospital stay ≤3 days or >7 days, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and use of proton pump inhibitors or diuretics. The risk of in-hospital death increased with the stage of AKI. In addition, patients with postoperative AKI had longer lengths of hospital stay (12 versus 19 days) and were more likely to require intensive care unit care (13.1% versus 45.0%) and renal replacement therapy (0.4% versus 7.7%). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative AKI was common across surgery type in China, particularly for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Implementation and evaluation of an alarm system is important for the battle against postoperative AKI.

Prognostic Value of Natriuretic Peptide Levels for Adverse Renal Outcomes in Patients With Moderate to Severe Acute Kidney Injury With or Without Heart Failure. J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e031453. [PMID: 37889206 PMCID: PMC10727411 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.031453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
Background Natriuretic peptides have been recommended as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with heart failure and are often elevated in the setting of acute kidney injury. We sought to demonstrate the associations between increased baseline NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) and adverse renal outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe acute kidney injury. Methods and Results We reviewed electronic medical records of consecutive patients with acute kidney injury stage 2 and 3 admitted to the Cleveland Clinic between September 2011 and December 2021. Patients with NT-proBNP levels collected before renal consultation or dialysis initiation were included. Adverse renal outcomes included dialysis requirement and dialysis dependence defined as patients undergoing dialysis within 72 hours before hospital discharge or in-hospital mortality. In our study cohort (n=3811), 2521 (66%) patients underwent dialysis, 1619 (42%) patients became dialysis dependent, and 1325 (35%) patients had in-hospital mortality. After adjusting for cardiorenal risk factors, compared with the lowest quartile, the highest quartile of NT-proBNP (≥18 215 pg/mL) was associated with increased likelihood of dialysis requirement (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.36 [95% CI, 1.87-2.99]), dialysis dependence (adjusted OR, 1.89 [95% CI, 2.53-1.34]), and in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR, 1.34 [95% CI, 1.01-1.34]). Conclusions Increased NT-proBNP was associated with an increased risk of dialysis requirement, becoming dialysis dependent, and in-hospital mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe acute kidney injury.

Effect of preoperative risk on the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery. Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med 2023; 42:101233. [PMID: 37061091 DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2023.101233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI), a common and severe complication after cardiac surgery, has been demonstrated to be associated with intraoperative hypotension (IOH). The reproducibility of this finding and whether preoperative risk modifies the association remain unclear. We hypothesised that the relationship between IOH and AKI after cardiac surgery varies by preoperative risk. METHODS We conducted a single-centre, retrospective cohort study to analyse the association between IOH and postoperative AKI by stratifying patients using preoperative risk factors. IOH was defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of less than 65 mmHg and characterised by the cumulative duration and area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Ten variables could be identified as risk factors: age, smoking status, NYHA III/Ⅳ, emergency surgery, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, hypertension, previous cardiac surgery, and NT-proBNP concentration. The risk prediction model divided the patients into three equal-sized preoperative risk groups. Low-risk patients demonstrated no association between AKI and IOH of any severity, while high-risk patients demonstrated a statistically significant association between AKI and IOH with a cumulative duration greater than 104 min (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-4.74; and adjusted OR: 3.63, 95% CI: 1.77-7.58) and an AUC greater than 905 mmHg min (adjusted OR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.01-4.36; and adjusted OR: 4.00, 95% CI: 1.95-8.43). CONCLUSION IOH is a significant independent risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery. Patients with higher baseline risk showed a more prominent relationship between IOH and postoperative AKI than low-risk patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the relationship between Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, and subgroup analysis was performed for different types of non-cardiac surgery. METHODS The present retrospective cohort study included 10,159 adult patients who underwent major noncardiac surgery at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, between 2008 and 2018. Postoperative AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level of at least 0.3 mg/dl within 48 h, or 1.5 times higher than baseline within 7 days postoperatively according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome. The correlation between preoperative NLR and postoperative AKI was determined by stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the predictive value of NLR was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) analysis. RESULTS Four hundred and eighty-five (4.77%) patients developed AKI postoperatively. Preoperative NLR was independently associated with postoperative AKI in all patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (Odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.06). The optimal cut-off value of NLR was 2.12 according ROC analysis. The OR and 95% CI of AKI for NLR > 2.12 was 1.48 (1.21-1.81) compared with NLR ≤ 2.12. In addition, the positive association was mainly shown in patients undergone digestive system surgery with a cut-off value of 2.12 but not in neurological and musculoskeletal system surgeries. CONCLUSION The present study confirmed the association of preoperative NLR with postoperative AKI in digestive system surgical patients. A NLR value of 2.12 may be a useful cut-off to evaluate the risk of AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Main Purpose: To clarify the incidence and predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after hip fracture surgery; Secondary Purpose: To investigate the impact of AKI on the length of stay (LOS) and mortality of patients. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated data from 644 hip fracture patients at Peking University First Hospital from 2015 to 2021, and divided the patients into AKI and Non-AKI groups according to whether AKI occurred after surgery. Logistic regression was used to clarify the risk factors for AKI, draw ROC curves, and analyze the odds ratio (OR) for LOS and death at 30 days, 3 months, and 1 year for patients with AKI. RESULTS The prevalence of AKI after hip fracture was 12.1%. Age, BMI, and postoperative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were risk factors for AKI after hip fracture surgery. The risk of AKI in underweight patients, overweight patients and obese patients was 2.24, 1.89, and 2.58 times. Compared to patients with BNP levels <800 pg/ml, the risk of AKI was 22.34-fold for postoperative BNP levels>1500 pg/ml. The risk of a one-grade increase in LOS was 2.84 times higher in the AKI group and the mortality of patients with AKI were higher. CONCLUSION The incidence of AKI after hip fracture surgery was 12.1%. Advanced age, low BMI, and postoperative high level BNP were risk factors for AKI. Surgeons need to pay more attention to patients with older age, low BMI and high postoperative BNP levels in order to proactively prevent the development of postoperative AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cystatin C (sCysC) are available clinically and beneficial in diagnosing acute kidney injury (AKI). Our purpose is to identify the performance of their combined diagnosis for AKI in critically ill patients. DESIGN A prospectively recruited, observational study was performed. SETTING Adults admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1222 critically ill patients were enrolled in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES To identify the performance of the combined diagnosis of serum NT-proBNP and sCysC for AKI in critically ill patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC), category-free net reclassification index (NRI) and incremental discrimination improvement (IDI) were utilised for comparing the discriminative powers of a combined and single biomarker adjusted model of clinical variables enriched with NT-proBNP and sCysC for AKI. RESULTS AKI was detected in 256 out of 1222 included patients (20.9%). AUC-ROC for NT-proBNP and sCysC to detect AKI had a significantly higher accuracy than any individual biomarker (p<0.05). After multivariate adjustment, a level of serum NT-proBNP ≥204 pg/mL was associated with 3.5-fold higher odds for AKI compared with those below the cut-off value. Similar results were obtained for sCysC levels (p<0.001). To detect AKI, adding NT-proBNP and sCysC to a clinical model further increased the AUC-ROC to 0.859 beyond that of the clinical model with or without sCysC (p<0.05). Moreover, the addition of these two to the clinical model significantly improved risk reclassification of AKI beyond that of the clinical model alone or with single biomarker (p<0.05), as measured by NRI and IDI. CONCLUSIONS In critically ill individuals, serum NT-proBNP, sCysC and clinical risk factors combination improve the discriminative power for diagnosing AKI.

Abstract
Background: Patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) require continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) when hemodynamically unstable. We aimed to identify prognostic factors and develop a nomogram that could predict mortality in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Methods: Data were extracted from the Dryad Digital Repository. We enrolled 1,002 participants and grouped them randomly into training (n = 670) and verification (n = 332) datasets based on a 2:1 proportion. Based on Cox proportional modeling of the training set, we created a web-based dynamic nomogram to estimate all-cause mortality. Results: The model incorporated phosphate, Charlson comorbidity index, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, levels of creatinine and albumin, and sequential organ failure assessment scores as independent predictive indicators. Model calibration and discrimination were satisfactory. In the training dataset, the area under the curves (AUCs) for estimating the 28-, 56-, and 84-day all-cause mortality were 0.779, 0.780, and 0.787, respectively. The model exhibited excellent calibration and discrimination in the validation dataset, with AUC values of 0.791, 0.778, and 0.806 for estimating 28-, 56-, and 84-day all-cause mortality, respectively. The calibration curves exhibited the consistency of the model between the two cohorts. To visualize the results, we created a web-based calculator. Conclusion: We created a web-based calculator for assessing fatality risk in patients with AKI receiving CRRT, which may help rationalize clinical decision-making and personalized therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is often viewed as an indicator for heart failure. However, the prognostic association and the predictive utility of NT-proBNP for postoperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) among older patients are unclear. METHODS In this study, we included 5033 patients aged 65 years or older who underwent noncardiac surgery with preoperative NT-proBNP recorded. Logistic regression was adopted to model the associations between preoperative NT-proBNP and the risk of MACEs and MINS. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the predictive value of NT-proBNP. RESULTS A total of 5033 patients were enrolled, 63 patients (1.25%) and 525 patients (10.43%) had incident postoperative MACEs and MINS, respectively. Analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the cutoff values of ln (NT-proBNP) for MACEs and MINS were 5.16 (174 pg/mL) and 5.30 (200 pg/mL), respectively. Adding preoperative ln (NT-proBNP) to the Revised Cardiac Risk Index score and the Cardiac and Stroke Risk Model boosted the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves from 0.682 to 0.726 and 0.787 to 0.804, respectively. The inclusion of preoperative NT-proBNP in the prediction models significantly increased the reclassification and discrimination. CONCLUSIONS Increased preoperative NT-proBNP was associated with a higher risk of postoperative MACEs and MINS. The inclusion of NT-proBNP enhances the predictive ability of the preexisting models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common postoperative complications in noncardiac surgical patients, has an important impact on prognosis and is difficult to predict. Whether preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) levels can predict postoperative AKI in noncardiac surgical patients is unclear. METHODS We included 3,314 patients who underwent noncardiac surgery and had measurements of preoperative NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels at a tertiary academic hospital in China between 2008 and 2018. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to construct a postoperative AKI risk prediction model for this cohort. Then, NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were included in the abovementioned model as independent variables, and the predictive ability of these two models was compared. RESULTS Postoperative AKI occurred in 223 (6.72%) patients within 1 week after surgery. Preoperative NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were independent predictors of AKI after adjustment for clinical variables. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of the AKI risk predictive model established with clinical baseline variables was 0.767 (95% CI: 0.732, 0.802). When NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were added to the base model, the AUROC was 0.811 (95% CI: 0.779, 0.843). The addition of NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels improved reclassification by 22.9% (95% CI 10.5-34.4%) for patients who developed postoperative AKI and by 36.3% (95% CI 29.5-43.9%) for those who did not, resulting in a significant overall improvement in net reclassification (NRI: 0.591, 95% CI 0.437-0.752, P < 0.000). The integral discrimination improvement was 0.100 (95% CI: 0.075, 0.125, P < 0.000).The final postoperative AKI prediction model was constructed, and had a good discriminative ability and fitted to the dataset. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were independently associated with the risk of AKI after noncardiac surgery, and they could improve the predictive ability of logistic regression models based on conventional clinical risk factors. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol was preregistered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( ChiCTR1900024056 ).

Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:898513. [PMID: 35783618 PMCID: PMC9244627 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.898513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the association between N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and risk of post-operative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI). Methods The electronic medical records and laboratory results were obtained from 3,949 adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing non-cardiac surgery performed between 1 October 2012 to 1 October 2019 at the Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, China. Collected data were analyzed retrospectively. Results In all, 5.3% (209 of 3,949) of patients developed PO-AKI. Pre-operative NT-proBNP was an independent predictor of PO-AKI. After adjustment for significant variables, OR for AKI of highest and lowest NT-proBNP quintiles was 1.96 (95% CI, 1.04–3.68, P = 0.008), OR per 1-unit increment in natural log transformed NT-proBNP was 1.20 (95% CI, 1.09–1.32, P < 0.001). Compared with clinical variables alone, the addition of NT-proBNP modestly improved the discrimination [change in area under the curve(AUC) from 0.82 to 0.83, ΔAUC=0.01, P = 0.024] and the reclassification (continuous net reclassification improvement 0.15, 95% CI, 0.01–0.29, P = 0.034, improved integrated discrimination 0.01, 95% CI, 0.002–0.02, P = 0.017) of AKI and non-AKI cases. Conclusions Results from our retrospective cohort study showed that the addition of pre-operative NT-proBNP concentrations could better predict post-operative AKI in a cohort of non-cardiac surgery patients and achieve higher net benefit in decision curve analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyze the risk factors affecting all-cause mortality in diabetic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the 90-day survival rate of patients. METHODS Clinical data of diabetic patients with AKI who were diagnosed at The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from April 30, 2011, to April 30, 2021, were collected. A total of 1,042 patients were randomly divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort at a ratio of 7:3. The primary study endpoint was all-cause death within 90 days of AKI diagnosis. Clinical parameters and demographic characteristics were analyzed using Cox regression to develop a prediction model for survival in diabetic patients with AKI, and a nomogram was then constructed. The concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve, and calibration plot were used to evaluate the prediction model. RESULTS The development cohort enrolled 730 patients with a median follow-up time of 87 (40-98) days, and 86 patients (11.8%) died during follow-up. The 90-day survival rate was 88.2% (644/730), and the recovery rate for renal function in survivors was 32.9% (212/644). Multivariate analysis showed that advanced age (HR = 1.064, 95% CI = 1.043-1.085), lower pulse pressure (HR = 0.964, 95% CI = 0.951-0.977), stage 3 AKI (HR = 4.803, 95% CI = 1.678-13.750), lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (HR = 0.944, 95% CI = 0.930-0.960), and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (HR = 2.056, 95% CI = 1.287-3.286) were independent risk factors affecting the all-cause death of diabetic patients with AKI (all p < 0.01). The C-indices of the prediction cohort and the validation cohort were 0.880 (95% CI = 0.839-0.921) and 0.798 (95% CI = 0.720-0.876), respectively. The calibration plot of the model showed excellent consistency between the prediction probability and the actual probability. CONCLUSION We developed a new prediction model that has been internally verified to have good discrimination, calibration, and clinical value for predicting the 90-day survival rate of diabetic patients with AKI.
