Key result
New prediction score accurately estimates postoperative acute renal failure risk after liver resection.
Why the study?
Postoperative acute renal failure after major surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality, and early identification of patients at risk is important for protective kidney treatment.
Observational (n=569)
Absolute Event Rate: 11.5% vs 14.8%
p-value: p=0.98
A newly developed prediction score using preoperative clinical parameters accurately predicts the risk of acute renal failure following liver resection.

May aid ARF risk stratification before liver resection; leaves open whether score-guided care improves outcomes.
Slankamenac et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Postoperative acute renal failure following liver resection (n=569). Prediction score for postoperative acute renal failure vs. Observed risk was evaluated on Postoperative acute renal failure (p=0.98). A new prediction score accurately estimated the risk of postoperative acute renal failure after liver resection (mean predicted risk 11.5% vs. observed risk 14.8%; P=0.98).
