Why the study?
Does preoperative eGFR predict short- and long-term prognosis after predominantly cardiac and vascular surgery?
Does preoperative eGFR predict short- and long-term prognosis after predominantly cardiac and vascular surgery?
Preoperative eGFR is a strong predictor of outcomes following cardiac and vascular surgery.
May aid preoperative risk stratification in cardiac and vascular surgery; leaves open whether eGFR-targeted interventions improve outcomes.
: There is a powerful relationship between eGFR, and both short- and long-term prognosis after, predominantly cardiac and vascular, surgery.
