Key result
Advanced age, prolonged surgery, and longer cross-clamp times are linked to AKI after cardiac surgery.
Why the study?
Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is a common complication linked to high mortality and morbidity, warranting evaluation of factors affecting its development and hemodialysis frequency.
Population
Patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass, valve surgery, or both at a university hospital
Comparison
Patients developing acute kidney injury vs those who did not
Design
Retrospective cohort study

Supports risk stratification by age and operative duration in cardiac surgery; leaves open whether targeted modifications reduce AKI incidence.

Advanced age, prolonged surgery time, and longer cross-clamp times are significant risk factors for developing acute kidney injury after elective open heart surgery.
Özçelik et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. Advanced age, long surgery time, and prolonged cross-clamp time was evaluated on Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI). Advanced age (P=0.002), long surgery time (P=0.03), and prolonged cross-clamp time (P=0.02) were significant risk factors for acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.
