To review the incidence of acute renal failure following cardiac surgery and evaluate its impact on patient mortality and healthcare resource utilization.
Reviewed published literature assessing the incidence of acute renal failure occurring after cardiac surgical procedures.
Evaluated clinical outcome metrics, specifically mortality rates and hospital resource utilization, with subgroup consideration for patients requiring dialysis.
Acute renal failure occurs as a postoperative complication in 1% to 10% of cardiac surgery patients.
Development of acute renal failure corresponds to markedly increased mortality and higher resource utilization, with the most severe outcomes observed in patients requiring dialysis.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Acute renal failure is a recognized complication of cardiac surgery with significant mortality and resource utilization implications.

Implication

Supports heightened perioperative renal monitoring; leaves open effective prevention strategies for prospective trials.

Abstract

Acute renal failure (ARF) after cardiac surgery is a well recognized complication that generally occurs in 1 to 10% of patients ([1][1]–[4][2]). Patients who develop ARF have higher rates of mortality and resource utilization, with the worst values seen in dialyzed patients ([5][3],[6][4]).
