Population

Patients undergoing non-cardiac/non-vascular surgery from the Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality database between 2000-2014.

Outcome

Occurrence of AKI, defined as an increase of ≥0.3 mg/dL, 48 h post-operativelysurrogate

Development of AKI after non-cardiovascular surgery is associated with increased post-operative complications, long-term renal insufficiency, and mortality.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

AKI after non-cardiovascular surgery signals higher MACE risk; hypothesis-generating for prevention trials before practice change.
