What are the prognostic factors for survival in critically ill surgical patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy?
What are the prognostic factors for survival in critically ill surgical patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy?
In critically ill surgical patients requiring CRRT, 6-month survival is poor (20.6%) and driven by admission severity and surgical complications, but long-term survival among 6-month survivors is reasonably good (71.6% at 5 years).
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Short-term mortality high in surgical ICU patients on CRRT; leaves open modifiable factors to improve 6-month survival.
Fertmann et al. (2008) studied this question.
