Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury and Risk Factors of Prognosis in Patients with Acute Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection

抄録

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the prognosis and impact of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients, and to analyze the predictors of short- and medium-term survival.

Methods: A total of 192 patients who underwent ATAAD surgery were included between May 2014 and May 2019. Perioperative data of these patients were analyzed. All of the discharged patients were followed up for 2 years.

Results: Postoperative AKI was identified in 43 of 192 patients (22.4%). The two-year survival rate of patients with AKI after discharge was 88.2% and that without AKI was 97.2%.The difference was statistically significant (χ² = 5.355, log-rank P = 0.021). Cox hazards regression showed that age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.070; P = 0.002), cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (HR, 1.026; P = 0.026), postoperative AKI (HR, 3.681; P = 0.003), and red blood cell transfusion (HR, 1.548; P = 0.001) were independent risk factors for the short- and medium-term total mortality of ATAAD patients.

Conclusion: The incidence of postoperative AKI is high in ATAAD, and the mortality of patients with AKI increases significantly within 2 years. Age, CPB time, and red blood cell transfusion were also independent risk factors for short-and medium-term prognoses.
