Key result

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with a significant but transient increase in serum creatinine on postoperative day 1 (P<0.001) that normalized by day 4, with no cases of Stage 2 or higher acute kidney injury.

Why the study?

While off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting aims to curtail perioperative complications, its impact on postoperative acute kidney injury remains debated.

Does off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) affect postoperative serum creatinine levels and acute kidney injury incidence in patients with coronary artery disease?

Comparison

Preoperative creatinine levels vs postoperative creatinine levels

Design

Retrospective cohort study

Follow-up

Up to 7 days postoperatively

Structured PICO

Does off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) affect postoperative serum creatinine levels and acute kidney injury incidence in patients with coronary artery disease?

P
Population
72 patients with coronary artery disease and normal baseline renal function who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, followed for up to 7 days postoperatively.
E
Exposure
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG)
O
Outcome
Serum creatinine levels assessed preoperatively and up to 7 days postoperatively, and incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) defined by KDIGO criteriasafety

Main Result

Effect estimate: Z value: -4.151

p-value: p=<0.001

OPCABG is associated with a transient, reversible increase in postoperative creatinine without causing severe acute kidney injury, suggesting an acceptable short-term renal safety profile.

Limitations

  • Retrospective design relying on data collected for clinical rather than research purposes, leading to missing data
  • Inability to document all parameters that might possibly influence the results
  • Serum creatinine is influenced by muscle mass, hydration status, and medications, and might not be the most sensitive indicator of early renal injury
  • Retrospective design relying on data gathered for clinical uses rather than research
  • Missing data due to lack of predesigned proforma
  • Impossible to document all parameters that might influence the results

Darçın et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=72). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Change in serum creatinine levels on postoperative Day 1 compared to baseline (Z value: -4.151, p=<0.001). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with a significant but transient increase in serum creatinine on postoperative day 1 (P<0.001) that normalized by day 4, with no cases of Stage 2 or higher acute kidney injury.
