Methods: Index adult cardiac operations at a single institution from 2010-2018 were reviewed. Patients requiring dialysis pre-operatively were excluded. ARF was stratified as either creatinine rise ( >3-times baseline or >4.0 mg/dL) or post-operative dialysis. Outcomes included mortality, rates of progression to dialysis, and renal recovery. Multivariable Cox regression was used for risk-adjustment. Results: A total of 10,037 patients, including 6,275 (62.5%) isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), 2,243 (22.3%) isolated valve, and 1,519 (15.1%) CABG plus valve cases, were included. Post-operative ARF occurred in 346 (3.5%) patients, with 230 (66.5%) requiring dialysis. Survival was significantly reduced in patients with ARF at 30-days (97.9 versus 70.8%, P < 0.001), 1-year (94.9 versus 48.0%, P < 0.001), and 5-years (86.2 versus 38.2%, P < 0.001) with more profound reductions in those requiring dialysis, findings which persisted after riskadjustment. Progression to subsequent dialysis in the creatinine rise group was rare ( n = 1). The median time to dialysis initiation in the dialysis group was 5 days (IQR 2-12 days) with a median time of dialysis dependence of 72 days (IQR 38-1229 days). Of those patients requiring postoperative dialysis, 30.9% demonstrated renal recovery. Conclusions: Post-operative ARF and in particular the need for dialysis are associated with substantial reductions in survival that persist during longitudinal follow-up. This occurs despite the finding that patients experiencing creatinine rise only rarely progress to dial-ysis, and that nearly one-third of patients requiring post-operative dialysis recover renal function.

Prior research supports that pediatric patients have higher rates of nonoperative management at pediatric trauma centers (PTCs). We sought to evaluate differences in outcomes of pediatric trauma patients with liver injuries. We hypothesized that the type of trauma center (PTC versus adult trauma center [ATC]) would not be associated with any difference in mortality. Methods: The Pennsylvania Trauma Outcome Study database was retrospectively queried from 2003 to 2018 for all patients (<15 y) with liver injuries by International Classification of Disease 9 and 10 codes. Patients were categorized based on admission to the PTC or ATC. The primary endpoint was mortality with secondary endpoints being operative intervention and length of stay. Multivariate logistic regressions assessed the adjusted impact on mortality and surgical intervention. Results: Of the 1600 patients with liver trauma, 607 met inclusion criteria. A total of 78.4% were treated at PTCs. Patients underwent hepatobiliary surgery more frequently at ATCs (11.5% [n = 15] versus 2.74% [n = 13], P < 0.001). Adjusted analysis showed lower odds of surgical intervention for hepatobiliary injuries at PTCs (adjusted odds ratio: 0.17, P = 0.001). There was a decrease in mortality at PTCs versus ATCs (adjusted odds ratio: 0.38, P = 0.032). Conclusions: Our statewide analysis showed that pediatric trauma patients with liver injuries treated at ATCs were associated with having higher odds of mortality and higher incidence of operative management for hepatobiliary injuries than those treated at PTCs. In addition, between centers, patients had similar functional status at discharge. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
