Predictors of acute kidney injury after lung resection surgery: a retrospective case-control study
Authors' conclusion
Acute kidney injury occurs frequently after lung resection surgery and is associated with increased risk of postoperative complications. Increased duration of OLV may be a risk factor for AKI in this population.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing elective lung resection surgery at an academic medical centre over four years
- Participants
- 1,045 patients
- Comparison
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) vs no AKI
- Casesn = 57
- Outcome
- Independent risk factors for early AKI after lung resection surgery
Methodological detailssingle-centre, multivariable logistic regression
- Single-centre
