Acute renal failure after cardiac surgery marks high mortality; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve survival.
Case-Control (n=704)
Absolute Event Rate: 55.6% vs 5.4%
p-value: p=< 0.005
Acute renal failure after cardiac surgery is uncommon but associated with dramatically high mortality, particularly when complicated by low cardiac output, prolonged perfusion time, and sepsis.
Llopart et al. (1997) conducted a case-control in Cardiac surgery (n=704). Acute renal failure vs. No acute renal failure was evaluated on Mortality (p=< 0.005). In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, acute renal failure was associated with a significantly higher mortality rate compared to those without the complication (55.6% vs 5.4%; p<0.005).
