The Association of Oxygen Delivery and Transfusion on Cardiopulmonary Bypass with Acute Kidney Injury

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

We found a nonlinear relationship between oxygen delivery and AKI. We found no level of oxygen delivery at which transfusion was associated with a decreased risk of AKI.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with continuous oxygen delivery monitoring during CPB
Participants
4,203 patients
Exposure
Oxygen delivery on CPB and transfusion vs no transfusion
Outcome
AKI
Follow-up
7 days
Methodological detailslogistic regression, exact-matched subgroup analysis, propensity score adjustment
  • Logistic regression
  • Exact-matched subgroup analysis
  • Propensity score adjustment
