Association Between Core Body Temperature at the Time of Separation From Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Observational Study
Authors' conclusion
Higher CPB separation temperature was independently associated with AKI.
Study context
- Population
- Adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), university hospital, January 2022–February 2024
- Participants
- 261 adults
- Exposure
- CPB separation temperature ≥36.2°C vs <36.2°C
- Outcome
- Postoperative AKI
Methodological detailssingle university hospital, multivariate logistic regression, propensity score matching
- Single university hospital
- Multivariate logistic regression
- Propensity score matching
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
AKI incidence after propensity score matching
P = 0.014
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Independent risk factors for AKI (multivariate analysis)
- Higher BMI, OR
- 1.13; p = 0.009
- Lower baseline hematocrit, OR
- 0.93; p = 0.031
- Higher baseline serum creatinine, OR
- 1.14; p = 0.006
- Longer CPB time, OR
- 1.13; p < 0.001
- Higher CPB separation temperature, OR
- 1.13; p = 0.002
Optimal CPB separation temperature cutoff (ROC analysis)
- Optimal cutoff
- 36.2°C
