Associations between intraoperative nociceptive response index and early postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia: a single-center retrospective cohort study

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In addition to intraoperative hypotension, a higher level of intraoperative NR index is likely associated with higher incidence of early postoperative AKI in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.

Study context

Population
Consecutive adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery under GA, February 2022 to August 2023
Participants
5,765 adults
Exposure
Highest intraoperative nociceptive response (NR) index ≥ 0.920 and other factors, association with early postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI)
Outcome
Early postoperative AKI
Methodological detailssingle-centre, multivariate regression analysis
  • Single-centre
  • Multivariate regression analysis

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Factors associated with early postoperative AKI (multivariate regression)
  • Highest NR during surgery ≥ 0.920 significantly associated with early postoperative AKI
  • Lowest mean blood pressure (MBP) during surgery < 54 mmHg significantly associated with early postoperative AKI
  • Age ≥ 48 years significantly associated with early postoperative AKI
  • Male sex significantly associated with early postoperative AKI
  • ASA-PS ≥ III significantly associated with early postoperative AKI
  • Emergency surgery significantly associated with early postoperative AKI
  • Duration of surgery ≥ 226 min significantly associated with early postoperative AKI

Observational data: associations, not effects.
