Observational Study
Latent class analysis stratifies mortality risk in patients developing acute kidney injury after high-risk intraabdominal general surgery: a historical cohort study.
Risk stratification for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) evaluates a patient's risk for developing this complication using preoperative characteristics. Nevertheless, it is unclear if these characteristics are also associated with mortality in patients who actually develop this complication, so we aimed to determine these associations. ⋯ Among patients with AKI after high-risk general surgery, the preoperative comorbid state is associated with the time course of and survival after AKI. This knowledge can stratify mortality risk in patients who develop postoperative AKI.
