Key result
Congenital heart surgery carries a 6.5% AKI incidence, associated with prolonged CPB and hypotension.
Why the study?
The incidence and risk factors for acute kidney injury in children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery were not well defined in this setting.
What is the incidence and what are the risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery?

93 patients with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery in a tertiary care center in Pakistan
Comparison
Patients who developed AKI vs those who did not develop AKI post-surgery
Design
Cross-sectional study
Follow-up
Total duration of PCICU stay

AKI incidence and risk factors after pediatric CHD surgery quantified; leaves open whether findings warrant targeted prevention trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=93)
No
What is the incidence and what are the risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery?
Post-operative acute kidney injury occurred in 6.5% of patients undergoing congenital heart disease surgery and was strongly associated with prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, hypotension, and increased mortality.
Khokhar et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Congenital heart disease (n=93). Cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease was evaluated on Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI). The incidence of acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease was 6.5%, with significant risk factors including prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time and hypotension.
