Acute Renal Failure After Cardiac Surgery: Evaluation of the RIFLE Classification

TLDR
It is proposed that the RIFLE classification is a valuable method to evaluate acute renal failure after cardiac surgery and its association with mortality may be associated with increased 90-day mortality rate.

KDIGO clinical practice guidelines for acute kidney injury.

TL;DR: The guidelines focused on 4 key domains: (1) AKI definition, (2) prevention and treatment of AKI, (3) contrastinduced AKI (CI-AKI) and (4) dialysis interventions for the treatment ofAKI.

Acute kidney injury

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that patients who have had acute kidney injury are at increased risk of subsequent chronic kidney disease, and new diagnostic techniques (eg, renal biomarkers) might help with early diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

RIFLE criteria for acute kidney injury are associated with hospital mortality in critically ill patients: a cohort analysis.

TL;DR: In this general intensive care unit population, acute kidney 'risk, injury, failure', as defined by the newly developed RIFLE classification, is associated with increased hospital mortality and resource use.

Standardized Endpoint Definitions for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Clinical Trials : A Consensus Report From the Valve Academic Research Consortium

TL;DR: Although consensus criteria will invariably include certain arbitrary features, an organized multidisciplinary process to develop specific definitions for TAVI clinical research should provide consistency across studies that can facilitate the evaluation of this new important catheter-based therapy.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

Measuring the accuracy of diagnostic systems

John A. Swets
- 03 Jun 1988 - 
TL;DR: For diagnostic systems used to distinguish between two classes of events, analysis in terms of the "relative operating characteristic" of signal detection theory provides a precise and valid measure of diagnostic accuracy.

Risk factors and outcome in European cardiac surgery: analysis of the EuroSCORE multinational database of 19030 patients

TL;DR: A number of risk factors contribute to cardiac surgical mortality in Europe and this information can be used to develop a risk stratification system for the prediction of hospital mortality and the assessment of quality of care.

The Effect of Acute Renal Failure on Mortality: A Cohort Analysis

TL;DR: Renal failure appears to increase the risk of developing severe nonrenal complications that lead to death and should not be regarded as a treatable complication of serious illness.

Minimal Changes of Serum Creatinine Predict Prognosis in Patients after Cardiothoracic Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: After cardiac and thoracic aortic surgery, 30-d mortality was lowest in patients with a slight postoperative decrease in serum creatinine, and increases in mortality remained significant in multivariate analyses, including postoperative renal replacement therapy.
