Adjusting Acute Kidney Injury Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Urine Output Criterion for Predicted Body Weight Improves Prediction of Hospital Mortality
Authors' conclusion
Compared to standard staging, adjustment of urine output for predicted body weight increases the specificity and improves prediction of hospital mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Study context
- Population
- Patients who had undergone cardiac surgery in a university hospital
- Participants
- 3,279 patients
- Exposure
- Predicted body weight adjusted vs Standard staging
- Outcome
- Prediction of hospital mortality by AKI staging (AUC)
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Prediction of hospital mortality (AUC)
- AUC significantly higher after adjustment for predicted body weight than with standard staging
- P = .002
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Incidence of AKI (all stages)
P < 0.001
