AKI signals higher in-hospital mortality risk in Killip 1-3 AMI; leaves open its independent role in cardiogenic shock.
Does the development of acute kidney injury increase in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction across different Killip classes?
Acute kidney injury is a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality in AMI patients presenting with Killip class 1 to 3, but its prognostic impact is attenuated in those presenting with cardiogenic shock (Killip 4).
