Acute Kidney Injury and mortality prognosis in Acute Coronary Syndrome patients: A meta-analysis.
The aim of this study is to provide a robust estimate of mortality risk in acute coronary syndrome (ACS)-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) to inform clinical practice and policy. ⋯ Acute coronary syndrome-associated AKI is associated with more than a three-fold increase in early mortality and more than two-fold in long-term mortality.
