Structured PICO
What is the incidence and prognostic importance of acute renal failure after percutaneous coronary intervention?
P
Population
Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
I
Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
O
Outcome
Incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) and its correlation with death during index hospitalization and after dismissalhard clinical
Acute renal failure after PCI, while low in overall incidence, is strongly associated with mortality and occurs more frequently in diabetics and those with baseline creatinine >2.0 mg/dL.
Abstract
The overall incidence of ARF after PCI is low. Diabetic patients with baseline Cr values 2.0 are at high risk for ARF. ARF was highly correlated with death during the index hospitalization and after dismissal.
