De Souza FM, De Carvalho AV, Ferraz IS, Damiano AP, Brandão MB, Nogueira RJN, De Souza TH. Acute kidney injury in children undergoing cardiac surgery: predictive value of kidney arterial Doppler-based variables. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:2235-2243. [PMID: 38416215 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06319-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in critically ill children and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the performance of point-of-care ultrasonography to predict AKI in children undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS In this prospective study, consecutive children underwent kidney Doppler ultrasound examination within 24 h following cardiac surgery, and an experienced operator obtained both renal resistive index (RRI) and renal pulsatility index (RPI). AKI was defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria. The primary outcome was the diagnosis of severe AKI (KDIGO stage 2 or 3) on day 3. RESULTS A total of 58 patients were included. Median age and weight were 12.9 months (IQR 6.0-37.9) and 7.36 kg (IQR 5.19-11.40), respectively. On day 3, 13 patients were classified as having AKI, of which 11 were severe. RRI could effectively predict AKI (area under the ROC curve [AUC] 0.83, 95% CI 0.71-0.92; p < 0.001) as well as RPI (AUC 0.81, 95% CI 0.69-0.90; p < 0.001). The optimal cutoff value for RRI was 0.85 (sensitivity, 73%; specificity, 83%; positive predictive value [PPV], 50%; and negative predictive value [NPV], 93%), while for RPI was 1.95 (sensitivity, 73%; specificity, 78%; PPV, 44%; and NPV, 92%). Similar results were found in the analysis for prediction on day 5. Significant correlations were found between Doppler-based variables and estimated GFR and furosemide dose on day 3. CONCLUSIONS Kidney Doppler ultrasound may be a promising tool for predicting AKI in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022384192) registered systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine whether prophylactic peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion at the time of pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with improved short-term outcomes. DATA SOURCES Databases search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library completed in April 2021 and updated October 2023. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers independently completed study selection, data extraction, and bias assessment. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies of children (≤ 18 yr) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We evaluated use of prophylactic PD catheter versus not. DATA EXTRACTION The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, as well as secondary short-term outcomes. Pooled random-effect meta-analysis odds ratio with 95% CI are reported. DATA SYNTHESIS Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria, including four RCTs. The non-PD catheter group received supportive care that included diuretics and late placement of PD catheters in the ICU. Most study populations included children younger than 1 year and weight less than 10 kg. Cardiac surgery was most commonly used for arterial switch operation. In-hospital mortality was reported in 13 studies; pooled analysis showed no association between prophylactic PD catheter placement and in-hospital mortality. There were mixed results for ICU length of stay and time to negative fluid balance, with some studies showing shortened duration associated with use of prophylactic PD catheter insertion and others showing no difference. Overall, the studies had high risk for bias, mainly due to small sample size and lack of generalizability. CONCLUSIONS In this meta-analysis, we have failed to demonstrate an association between prophylactic PD catheter insertion in children and infants undergoing cardiac surgery and reduced in-hospital mortality. Other relevant short-term outcomes, including markers of fluid overload, require further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In recent years, there has been growing attention to pediatric kidney health, especially pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there has been limited focus on the role of pediatric AKI on adult kidney health, specifically considerations for the critical care physician. RECENT FINDINGS We summarize what is known in the field of pediatric AKI to inform adult medical care including factors throughout the early life course, including perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric exposures that impact survivor care later in adulthood. SUMMARY The number of pediatric AKI survivors continues to increase, leading to a higher burden of chronic kidney disease and other long-term co-morbidities later in life. Adult medical providers should consider pediatric history and illnesses to inform the care they provide. Such knowledge may help internists, nephrologists, and intensivists alike to improve risk stratification, including a lower threshold for monitoring for AKI and kidney dysfunction in their patients.

Usefulness of the N-Terminal of the Prohormone Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Predicting Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy in Patients Undergoing Heart Valve Surgery. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:2083. [PMID: 38138186 PMCID: PMC10744829 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59122083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: By definition, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome diagnosed when the increase in serum creatinine concentration is >0.3 mg/dL in 48 h or >1.5-fold in the last seven days or when diuresis < 0.5 mL/kg/h for a consecutive 6 h. AKI is one of the severe complications that may occur in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing heart valve surgery, significantly increasing the risk of death. Early implementation of renal replacement therapy increases the chances of improving treatment results in patients with postoperative AKI. The study assessed the predictive ability of selected preoperative and perioperative parameters for the occurrence of postoperative AKI requiring renal replacement therapy in the early postoperative period in a group of patients with severe valvular heart disease. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on a group of patients undergoing consecutive heart valve surgeries. The primary endpoint was postoperative AKI requiring renal replacement therapy. AKI was diagnosed with an increase in serum creatinine > 0.3 mg/dL in 48 h or >1.5-fold in the previous 7 days and/or a decrease in diuresis < 0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 h. The observation period was until the patient was discharged home or death occurred. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess which variables were predictive of primary endpoint, and odds ratios (OR) were calculated with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Multivariate analysis was based on the result of single factor logistic regression, i.e., to further steps, all statistically significant variables were taken into consideration. Results: A total of 607 patients were included in the study. The primary endpoint occurred in 50 patients. At multivariate analysis: NT-proBNP (OR 1.406; 95% CI 1.015-1.949; p = 0.04), CRP (OR 1.523; 95% CI 1.171-1.980; p = 0.001), EuroSCORE II (OR 1.090; 95% CI 1.014-1.172; p = 0.01), age (OR 1.037; 95% CI 1.001-1.075; p = 0.04) and if they stayed in the intensive care unit longer than 2 days (OR 9.077; 95% CI 2.026-40.663; p = 0.004) remained the independent predictors of the primary endpoint. The mean preoperative NT-proBNP level was 2063 pg/mL (±1751). Thirty-eight patients with AKI requiring renal replacement therapy died in intrahospital follow-up. Conclusions: The results of the presented study indicate that a high preoperative level of NT-proBNP and postoperative hemodynamic instability may be associated with a significant risk of a postoperative AKI requiring renal replacement therapy. The results of the study may also suggest that qualifying for heart valve surgery earlier may be associated with improved prognosis in this group of patients.

Indexed oxygen delivery during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass is a modifiable risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury. THE JOURNAL OF EXTRA-CORPOREAL TECHNOLOGY 2023; 55:112-120.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury after pediatric cardiac surgery is a common complication with few established modifiable risk factors. We sought to characterize whether indexed oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass was associated with postoperative acute kidney injury in a large pediatric cohort. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of patients under 1 year old undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2020. Receiver operating characteristic curves across values ranging from 260 to 400 mL/min/m2 were used to identify the indexed oxygen delivery most significantly associated with acute kidney injury risk. RESULTS We included 980 patients with acute kidney injury occurring in 212 (21.2%). After adjusting for covariates associated with acute kidney injury, an indexed oxygen delivery threshold of 340 mL/min/m2 predicted acute kidney injury in STAT 4 and 5 neonates (area under the curve = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.60 - 0.72, sensitivity = 56.1%, specificity = 69.4%). An indexed oxygen delivery threshold of 400 mL/min/m2 predicted acute kidney injury in STAT 1-3 infants (area under the curve = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.58 - 0.72, sensitivity = 52.6%, specificity = 74.6%). CONCLUSION Indexed oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass is a modifiable variable independently associated with postoperative acute kidney injury in specific pediatric populations. Strategies aimed at maintaining oxygen delivery greater than 340 mL/min/m2 in complex neonates and greater than 400 mL/min/m2 in infants may reduce the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury in the pediatric population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KDIGO and pRIFLE classifications are commonly used in pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI). As a novel AKI definition, pROCK considered the high variability of serum creatinine in children. This study aimed to compare the above three definitions for AKI in infants undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS We analyzed a clinical cohort of 413 infants undergoing cardiac surgery. AKI was defined and staged according to pRIFLE, KDIGO, and pROCK, respectively. Incidence differences and diagnostic agreement across definitions were assessed. The association between postoperative outcomes and AKI by each definition was investigated. RESULTS Postoperative AKI was identified in 185 (44.8%), 160 (38.7%), and 77 (18.6%) patients according to pRIFLE, KDIGO, and pROCK, respectively. The agreement between pRIFLE and KDIGO was almost perfect (κ = 0.88), while there was only a slight agreement between pROCK and them. AKI by pROCK was independently associated with adverse outcomes (p = 0.003) and prolonged mechanical ventilation (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS There were considerable differences in AKI incidence and staging among definitions. Compared with pRIFLE and KDIGO, AKI defined by pROCK was significantly reduced and better associated with postoperative adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass is an integral and indispensable part of surgical repair of congenital heart defects. While the complications and morbidity secondary to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass has decreased considerably, there remains a significant incidence of clinically relevant renal and neurological injury. To provide more physiological delivery of oxygenated blood to the end-organs, our center has been successfully using a high-flow, high hematocrit cardiopulmonary bypass strategy since 2006. The essential components of this strategy include maintaining high flows (typically 200 mL/kg/min in neonates, 150-175 mL/kg/min in older infants weighing <10 kg, and 2.6 L/min/m2 in older children) throughout the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass irrespective of patient temperature, as well as maintaining a hematocrit of at least 32% on cardiopulmonary bypass. The incidence of post-operative acute kidney injury (around 3%) and clinical acute neurological events (<1%) with this strategy is considerably less when compared to other contemporary publications using the conventional cardiopulmonary bypass strategy. In this review, we discuss the rationale behind our approach and present evidence to support the high-flow, high-hematocrit strategy. We also discuss the practical aspects of our strategy and describe the adjuncts we use to derive additional benefits. These adjuncts include the use of a hybrid pH/alpha stat strategy during cooling/rewarming, aggressive use of conventional ultrafiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass, a terminal hematocrit of 40-45%, and avoidance of milrinone and albumin in the early peri-operative period. This results in a very low incidence of post-operative bleeding, facilitates chest closure in the operating room even in most neonates, helps in reducing the need for post-operative blood product transfusion and helps in achieving a favorable post-operative fluid balance early after surgery.

Abstract
Shock is a life-threatening condition, and its timely recognition is essential for adequate management. Pediatric patients with congenital heart disease admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) after surgical corrections are particularly at risk of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) and shock. Blood lactate levels and venous oxygen saturation (ScVO2) are usually used as shock biomarkers to monitor the efficacy of resuscitation efforts, but they are plagued by some limitations. Carbon dioxide (CO2)-derived parameters, namely veno-arterial CO2 difference (ΔCCO2) and the VCO2/VO2 ratio, may represent a potentially valuable addition as sensitive biomarkers to assess tissue perfusion and cellular oxygenation and may represent a valuable addition in shock monitoring. These variables have been mostly studied in the adult population, with a strong association between ΔCCO2 or VCO2/VO2 ratio and mortality. In children, particularly in CICU, few studies looked at these parameters, while they reported promising results on the use of CO2-derived indices for patients' management after cardiac surgeries. This review focuses on the physiological and pathophysiological determinants of ΔCCO2 and VCO2/VO2 ratio while summarizing the actual state of knowledge on the use of CO2-derived indices as hemodynamical markers in CICU.

[PMID: 36929386 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-05925-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present retrospective study was carried out to determine the incidence of unrecognized cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) due to infrequency of serum creatinine (SCr) measurements in pediatric cardiac patients and to assess the association between unrecognized CSA-AKI and clinical outcomes. METHODS This study was a single-center, retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Patients were diagnosed with CSA-AKI based on SCr measurements, and unrecognized CSA-AKI was defined under the assumptions that there had been only one or two SCr measurements within 48 h after surgery: CSA-AKI unrecognized by one SCr measurement (AKI-URone), CSA-AKI unrecognized by two SCr measurements (AKI-URtwo), and CSA-AKI recognized by one and two SCr measurements (AKI-R). The change of SCr from baseline to postoperative day 30 (delta SCr30d) was assessed as a surrogate of kidney recovery. RESULTS In a total of 557 cases, 313 patients (56.2%) were diagnosed with CSA-AKI, 188 (33.8%) of whom had unrecognized CSA-AKI. Delta SCr30d in the AKI-URtwo group and delta SCr30d in the AKI-URone group was not significantly different from delta SCr30d in the non-AKI group (p = 0.67 and p = 0.79, respectively). There were significant differences in the durations of mechanical ventilation, serum B-type natriuretic peptide levels, and lengths of stay in hospital between the non-AKI group and the AKI-URtwo group and between the non-AKI group and the AKI-URtwo group. CONCLUSIONS Unrecognized CSA-AKI due to infrequent SCr measurements is not rare and is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, high postoperative BNP level, and prolonged length of stay in hospital. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: Model Development and Validation Study. J Med Internet Res 2023; 25:e41142. [PMID: 36603200 PMCID: PMC9893730 DOI: 10.2196/41142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major complication following pediatric cardiac surgery, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The early prediction of CSA-AKI before and immediately after surgery could significantly improve the implementation of preventive and therapeutic strategies during the perioperative periods. However, there is limited clinical information on how to identify pediatric patients at high risk of CSA-AKI. OBJECTIVE The study aims to develop and validate machine learning models to predict the development of CSA-AKI in the pediatric population. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients aged 1 month to 18 years who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at 3 medical centers of Central South University in China. CSA-AKI was defined according to the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Feature selection was applied separately to 2 data sets: the preoperative data set and the combined preoperative and intraoperative data set. Multiple machine learning algorithms were tested, including K-nearest neighbor, naive Bayes, support vector machines, random forest, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and neural networks. The best performing model was identified in cross-validation by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Model interpretations were generated using the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method. RESULTS A total of 3278 patients from one of the centers were used for model derivation, while 585 patients from another 2 centers served as the external validation cohort. CSA-AKI occurred in 564 (17.2%) patients in the derivation cohort and 51 (8.7%) patients in the external validation cohort. Among the considered machine learning models, the XGBoost models achieved the best predictive performance in cross-validation. The AUROC of the XGBoost model using only the preoperative variables was 0.890 (95% CI 0.876-0.906) in the derivation cohort and 0.857 (95% CI 0.800-0.903) in the external validation cohort. When the intraoperative variables were included, the AUROC increased to 0.912 (95% CI 0.899-0.924) and 0.889 (95% CI 0.844-0.920) in the 2 cohorts, respectively. The SHAP method revealed that baseline serum creatinine level, perfusion time, body length, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss were the top 5 predictors of CSA-AKI. CONCLUSIONS The interpretable XGBoost models provide practical tools for the early prediction of CSA-AKI, which are valuable for risk stratification and perioperative management of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) commonly complicates cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this study we assessed incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of postoperative AKI, while testing the hypothesis that, depending on the underlying diagnosis, there would be significant differences in AKI incidence among different diagnostic groups. We conducted an observational cohort study of children with CHD undergoing cardiac surgery in a single tertiary center between January 2019 and August 2021 (n = 362). Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria were used to determine the incidence of postoperative AKI. Diagnosis was incorporated into multivariate models using an anatomic-based CHD classification system. Overall survival was estimated using Kaplan−Meier curves. Log-rank test and adjusted Cox proportional hazard modelling were used to test for differences in survival distributions and determine AKI effect on survival function, respectively. AKI occurred in 70 (19.3%), with 21.4% in-hospital mortality for AKI group. Younger age, lower weight, longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, preoperative mechanical ventilation and diagnostic category were associated with postoperative AKI. Resolution rate was 92.7% prior to hospital discharge for survivors. AKI was associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital length of stay. AKI patients had significantly higher probability of all-cause mortality postoperatively when compared to the non-AKI group (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Adjusted hazard ratio for AKI versus non-AKI group was 11.08 (95% CI 2.45−50.01; p = 0.002). Diagnostic category was associated with cardiac surgery-related AKI in children with CHD, a finding supporting the development of lesion specific models for risk stratification. Postoperative AKI had detrimental impact on clinical outcomes and was associated with decreased survival to hospital discharge.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common occurrence in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In recent years, our knowledge of the incidence and impact of neonatal AKI on outcomes has expanded exponentially. Neonatal AKI has been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes including increased length of mechanical ventilation, prolonged length of stay, and rise in mortality. There has also been increasing work suggesting that neonates with AKI are at higher risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the past, AKI had been defined multiple ways. The utilization of the neonatal modified Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria as the standard definition for neonatal AKI in research and clinical care has driven the advances in our understanding of neonatal AKI over the last 10 years. This definition has allowed researchers and clinicians to better understand the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with neonatal AKI across populations through a multitude of single-center studies and the seminal, multicenter Assessment of Worldwide Acute Kidney Injury Epidemiology in Neonates (AWAKEN) study. As the impacts of neonatal AKI have become clear, a shift in efforts toward identifying those at highest risk, protocolizing AKI surveillance, improving prevention and diagnosis, and expanding kidney support therapy (KST) for neonates has occurred. These efforts also include improving risk stratification (identifying high risk populations, including those with nephrotoxic medication exposure) and diagnostics (novel biomarkers and diagnostic tools). Recent work has also shown that the targeted use of methylxanthines may prevent AKI in a variety of high-risk populations. One of the most exciting developments in neonatal AKI is the advancement in technology to provide KST to neonates with severe AKI. In this comprehensive review we will provide an overview of recent work and advances in the field of neonatal AKI. This will include a detailed review of (1) the definition of neonatal AKI, (2) the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes associated with neonatal AKI, (3) improvements in risk stratification and diagnostics, (4) mitigation and treatment, (5) advancements in the provision of KST to neonates, and (6) the incidence and risk of subsequent CKD.

Early post-operative P V-ACO 2/C A-VO 2 predicts subsequent acute kidney injury after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot. Cardiol Young 2022; 32:558-563.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is a severe complication following complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot. Anaerobic metabolism is believed to contribute to the development of acute kidney injury. The ratio of central venous to arterial carbon dioxide tension to arterio-venous oxygen content (PV-ACO2/CA-VO2) has been proposed as a surrogate for respiratory quotient and an indicator of tissue oxygenation. We hypothesised that a small increase of PV-ACO2/CA-VO2 might have superior discrimination ability in subsequent acute kidney injury prediction. METHODS This study is retrospective and single-centre design study. The study population consisted of 61 children with tetralogy of Fallot that underwent a complete surgical repair between July 2017 and January 2021. Baseline characteristics and intra-operative parameters were collected through a retrospective chart review. PV-ACO2/CA-VO2 was collected within 12 hours of surgical completion. Acute kidney injury was defined according to the criteria established by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes group. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to determine risk factors for acute kidney injury. RESULTS Of the 61 patients, 20 (32.8%) developed acute kidney injury. Multivariate logistic analyses showed that age, height, haematocrit, and Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2 were independently associated with the development of acute kidney injury. The addition of Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2 to the model significantly increased model discrimination [AUROC 0.939 (95% CI 0.894-0.984) and AUROC 0.922 (95% CI 0.869-0.975), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS The increase of PV-ACO2/CA-VO2 could improve the predictive ability for subsequent development of acute kidney injury in children with tetralogy of Fallot.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the effects of theophylline use in preventing renal dysfunction in patients undergoing CHD surgery. METHODS A total of 94 patients aged 1-60 months were included in the study. Patients in the theophylline group were enrolled according to a pre-defined protocol for treatment administration, while controls were selected retrospectively from patients without theophylline treatment during the same period - who were matched according to critical baseline characteristics. RESULTS The incidence of acute kidney injury was similar between the two groups (p = 1.000). Higher urinary output and lower fluid balance were found intraoperatively and also postoperatively in the theophylline group (all, p < 0.050). Postoperative decrease in urinary output and estimated glomerular filtration rate were higher in the theophylline group (p < 0.050). Lower postoperative urea and creatinine levels were shown in theophylline recipients (p < 0.050). Urea levels increased significantly in the non-theophylline group during surgery (p < 0.001), and no significant change was observed in theophylline group (p = 0.136). Postoperative increase in creatinine and lactate levels was demonstrated in theophylline group (p < 0.050), and lactate levels were higher in the non-theophylline group during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (p = 0.010). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed less reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate with higher age and in the presence of theophylline use (p < 0.050). CONCLUSION Although we demonstrated a similar incidence of acute kidney injury in the both groups, we revealed an important decrease in serum creatinine, urea and lactate levels, accompanied by improved estimated glomerular filtration rate, increased urine output and decreased fluid overload, with theophylline treatment, suggesting that renal functions significantly improved with the use of theophylline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication that is associated with prolonged hospital stay, high risk of short-term postsurgical mortality, need for dialysis, and possible progression to chronic kidney disease. To date, very little data exist on the risk of postoperative AKI among children undergoing noncardiac surgical procedures. We used data from a large multicenter cohort to determine the factors associated with AKI among children who underwent inpatient noncardiac surgical procedures and its impact on the postoperative course. METHODS We utilized the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric participant user files to identify a cohort of children who underwent inpatient surgery between 2012 and 2018 (n = 257,439). We randomly divided the study population into a derivation cohort of 193,082 (75%) and a validation cohort of 64,357 (25%), and constructed a multivariable logistic regression model to identify independent risk factors for AKI. We defined AKI as the occurrence of either acute renal failure or progressive renal insufficiency within the 30 days after surgery. RESULTS The overall rate of postoperative AKI was 0.10% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.09-0.11). In a multivariable model, operating times longer than 140 minutes, preexisting hematologic disorder, and preoperative sepsis were the strongest independent predictors of AKI. Other independent risk factors for AKI were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status ≥III, preoperative inotropic support, gastrointestinal disease, ventilator dependency, and corticosteroid use. The 30-day mortality rate was 10.1% in children who developed AKI and 0.19% in their counterparts without AKI (P < .001). Children who developed AKI were more likely to require an extended hospital stay (≥75th percentile of the study cohort) relative to their peers without AKI (77.4% vs 21.0%; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Independent preoperative risk factors for AKI in children undergoing inpatient noncardiac surgery were hematologic disorder, preoperative sepsis, ASA physical status ≥III, inotropic support, gastrointestinal disease, ventilator dependency, and steroid use. Children with AKI were 10 times more likely to die and nearly 3 times more likely to require an extended hospital stay, relative to their peers without AKI.

Abstract
Preclinical models and emerging translational data suggest that acute kidney injury (AKI) has far reaching effects on all other major organ systems in the body. Common in critically ill children and adults, AKI is independently associated with worse short and long term morbidity, as well as mortality, in these vulnerable populations. Evidence exists in adult populations regarding the impact AKI has on life course. Recently, non-renal organ effects of AKI have been highlighted in pediatric AKI survivors. Given the unique pediatric considerations related to somatic growth and neurodevelopmental consequences, pediatric AKI has the potential to fundamentally alter life course outcomes. In this article, we highlight the challenging and complex interplay between AKI and the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, growth, functional status, and longitudinal outcomes. Specifically, we discuss the biologic basis for how AKI may contribute to neurologic injury and neurodevelopment, cardiac dysfunction, acute lung injury, immunoparalysis and increased risk of infections, diminished somatic growth, worsened functional status and health related quality of life, and finally the impact on young adult health and life course outcomes.

Abstract
Background We sought to create a model that incorporated ultrasound examinations to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. Material/Methods A total of 292 patients with AKI after PCI or CPB surgery were enrolled for the study. Afterwards, treatment-related information, including data pertaining to ultrasound examination, was collected. A random forest model and multivariate logistic regression analysis were then used to establish a predictive model for the risk of AKI. Finally, the predictive quality and clinical utility of the model were assessed using calibration plots, receiver-operating characteristic curve, C-index, and decision curve analysis. Results Predictive factors were screened and the model was established with a C-index of 0.955 in the overall sample set. Additionally, an area under the curve of 0.967 was obtained in the training group. Moreover, decision curve analysis also revealed that the prediction model had good clinical applicability. Conclusions The prediction model was efficient in predicting the risk of AKI by incorporating ultrasound examinations and a number of factors. Such included operation methods, age, congestive heart failure, body mass index, heart rate, white blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, uric acid, and peak intensity (kidney cortex as well as kidney medulla).
