Acute kidney injury is a common complication after major abdominal surgery and is significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality.
Teixeira et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Major abdominal surgery (n=450). Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) vs. No postoperative AKI was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2-11.7, p=0.024). Postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery was associated with significantly increased in-hospital mortality (20.8% vs 2.3%; adjusted OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2-11.7).
