Analysis of risk factors for progression of acute kidney injury after moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest in acute aortic dissection / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the risk factors of renal function progression in patients with acute renal injury (AKI) after moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest surgery in acute aortic dissection (AD).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made base on the data of 290 patients with acute AD who underwent surgical treatment from January 2014 to August 2022 in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University. According to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) AKI diagnostic criteria in 2015, patients with AKI after surgery were selected as the study objects. Patients with progressive deterioration of renal function or required continuous renal replacement therapy after AD operation were defined as the progression group of AKI, the other patients with gradual improvement of renal function after AD operation were defined as the improvement group of AKI. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors for the progression of AKI after AD were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 290 AD surgeries were completed, of which 143 cases developed AKI after surgery, including 81 cases in AKI progression group and 62 cases in AKI improvement group. In the progression group of AKI, before surgery the proportion of patients with coronary heart disease: 24.7% (20/81) vs.11.3% (7/62), serum creatinine (Scr) >133 μmol/L: 24.7% (20/81) vs. 3.2% (2/62), pericardial tamponade: 22.2% (18/81) vs. 8.1% (5/62), lower limb ischemia: 25.9% (21/81) vs. 3.2% (2/62) were significantly increased. Postoperative acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE) score: 14.00 (9.00, 19.75) scores vs. 10.00 (7.00, 12.00) scores, ICU hospitalization days: 8 (5, 13) d vs. 5 (3, 7) d, postoperative mortality: 24.7%(20/81) vs. 1.6%(1/62), the proportion of KDIGO phase 3 ratio: 46.9%(38/81) vs. 3.2%(2/62), postoperative infection: 61.7%(50/81) vs. 38.7% (24/62), low cardiac output syndrome: 29.6% (24/81) vs. 6.5% (4/62), cerebral infarction complications: 38.2%(31/81) vs. 16.1%(10/62), and mortality after surgery were also higher. Compared with improvement group of AKI, all differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative lower limb ischemia ( OR = 9.430, 95% CI 1.975 to 45.032, P = 0.005), postoperative low cardiac output syndrome ( OR = 5.288, 95% CI 1.543 to 18.126, P = 0.008), and postoperative infection ( OR = 2.273, 95% CI 1.022 to 5.057, P = 0.044) were independent risk factors for the progression of AKI after AD surgery. Conclusions:The independent risk factors of renal function progression in patients with AKI after hypothermic circulatory arrest surgery in acute AD include preoperative lower limb ischemia, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, and postoperative infection.
