Structured PICO

Does the development and severity of AKI affect costs, length of stay, and mortality in postoperative cardiac surgery patients?

Population

Postoperative cardiac surgery patients

Intervention

Development of acute kidney injury (AKI) defined by RIFLE criteria

Comparator

No AKI or lesser severity of AKI

Outcome

Costs, length of stay (LOS), and mortalityhard clinical

The development and increasing severity of acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery are directly associated with higher healthcare costs, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality.

Abstract

Costs, LOS and mortality are higher in postoperative cardiac surgery patients who develop AKI using RIFLE criteria, and these values increase as AKI severity worsens.
