Key result
Older age predicted 30-day mortality (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.03-1.12) and late mortality (OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.02-1.07) among patients requiring renal replacement therapy after cardiac surgery.

Does age predict early and late mortality in patients requiring postoperative renal replacement therapy after cardiac surgery?
Odds Ratio: 1.08 (95% CI 1.03–1.12)
Older age is a significant predictor of both 30-day and late mortality in patients requiring renal replacement therapy after cardiac surgery, a population with an overall poor prognosis.
Haanschoten et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Postoperative renal replacement therapy after cardiac surgery (n=138). Older age was evaluated on 30-day mortality (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.12). Older age predicted 30-day mortality (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.03-1.12) and late mortality (OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.02-1.07) among patients requiring renal replacement therapy after cardiac surgery.
