Authors' conclusion

Our findings demonstrate that IOH was independently associated with a higher incidence of postoperative AKI in patients who underwent an emergent critical cesarean delivery.

Study context

Population
Patients who underwent emergent critical cesarean delivery, January 2019 to August 2024
Participants
508 patients
Exposure
Association of intraoperative hypotension with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI)
Outcome
Postoperative AKI (KDIGO, serum creatinine) by primary IOH metric (cumulative duration of MAP <65 mmHg)
Methodological detailsmultivariable logistic regression, sensitivity analyses with alternative intraoperative hypotension (IOH) metrics
  • Multivariable logistic regression
  • Sensitivity analyses with alternative IOH metrics

Main finding

Postoperative AKI vs cumulative IOH duration

As reported in the abstract

Incidence of postoperative AKI
