Why the study?
Do small increases in serum creatinine level during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction increase the long-term risk of ESRD and death in elderly patients?
Do small increases in serum creatinine level during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction increase the long-term risk of ESRD and death in elderly patients?
Small increases in serum creatinine during AMI hospitalization in the elderly are associated with an increased long-term risk of ESRD and mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May identify elderly AMI patients needing closer renal surveillance; leaves open whether targeting small creatinine rises improves outcomes.
