Renal dysfunction was associated with higher CABG mortality and lower survival; extends observational risk data but leaves open prospective validation.
Does non-dialysis-dependent renal dysfunction (serum creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dl) worsen perioperative and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing isolated CABG?
Non-dialysis-dependent renal dysfunction significantly increases perioperative morbidity and mortality, and reduces long-term survival following isolated CABG.
