Predicting acute renal failure after coronary bypass surgery: cross-validation of two risk-stratification algorithms.
Kidney Int. 2000; (6): 2594-602
Acute renal failure (ARF) requiring dialysis after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) occurs in 1 to 5% of patients and is independently associated with postoperative mortality, even after case-mix adjustment. A risk-stratification algorithm that could reliably identify patients at increased risk of ARF could help improve outcomes.
