Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) of any cause bears significant patient complications, but most literature on postoperative AKI have focused on cardiac surgeries due to their inherent high risk nature. As such, validated AKI risk stratification systems for cardiac surgeries are already in use in clinical practice but no such scoring system is currently used for non-cardiac ones. To address this gap in clinical practice, Park, et al (2019) first developed the SPARK-AKI scoring system in South Korea, a non-patented AKI predictive risk stratification model for non-cardiac surgeries.
