Establishment of a Perioperative Dynamic Prediction Model for Cardiac Surgery-associated Acute Kidney Injury

September 9, 2026 updated by: China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiac surgery-associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) is one of the most common complications after cardiovascular Surgery, with an incidence rate as high as 30-50%. CSA-AKI has many hazards, including significantly increasing the hospital stay of patients after surgery and greatly increasing medical costs. Moreover, it significantly raises the short-term and long-term mortality (by 3 to 8 times) and the risk of occurrence or aggravation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients after surgery. These risks increase with the aggravation of CSA-AKI. Therefore, early prevention and treatment throughout the perioperative period of CSA-AKI is crucial for improving prognosis. Early prediction, especially preoperative prediction, is the prerequisite for the early prevention and treatment of CSA-AKI throughout the course. The aim of this study is to establish a dynamic prediction model for the entire perioperative period of CSA-AKI, with the expectation of improving the prediction and diagnosis of CSA-AKI for the development and validation of a prediction model based on a multicenter retrospective cohort. Using retrospective multimodal data of perioperative cardiovascular surgeries from hospitals such as Beijing, Central China, Yunnan and Fuwai Hospital in Shenzhen, and based on artificial intelligence technologies (such as machine learning), a CSA-AKI risk prediction model suitable for the entire perioperative period dynamics of various surgical types was constructed.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The occurrence of CSA-AKI
Time Frame: The assessment will be conducted from the end of the surgery until the 7th day after the operation
CSA-AKI is defined as: an increase of ≥26.5 µmol/L in serum creatinine (SCr) within 48 hours after cardiovascular surgery compared with the baseline, or an increase of ≥ 50% of the baseline value within 7 days after surgery.
The assessment will be conducted from the end of the surgery until the 7th day after the operation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The occurrence of severe CSA-AKI(i.e. AKI stage 2 or 3)
Time Frame: The assessment will be conducted from the end of the surgery until the 7th day after the operation

Acute kidney injury at stage 2 or stage 3 as defined by the KDIGO 2012 guidelines.AKI stage 2 is defined as:meet any of the following conditions:

  1. Serum creatinine index: Serum creatinine rises to 2.0-2.9 times the baseline value.
  2. Urine volume index: Urine volume remains consistently below 0.5 mL/kg/h for more than 12 hours.

AKI stage 3 is defined as: meeting any of the following conditions:

  1. Serum creatinine index: Serum creatinine increases to 3.0 times or more of the baseline value; Or the serum creatinine level rises to ≥ 4.0 mg/dL (≥ 353.6 μmol/L); Or start renal replacement therapy (such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis).
  2. Urine volume index: Urine volume remains consistently below 0.3 mL/kg/h for more than 24 hours; Or anuria (urine output < 100 mL/ day) persists for 12 hours or more.
The assessment will be conducted from the end of the surgery until the 7th day after the operation
The occurrence of persistent acute kidney injury
Time Frame: 48 hours after the diagnosis of acute kidney injury
Persistent acute kidney injury is defined as acute kidney injury that persists for more than 48 hours after its initial diagnosis, based on serum creatinine and/or urine output according to KDIGO criteria.
48 hours after the diagnosis of acute kidney injury
Renal replacement therapy or in-hospital death
Time Frame: From the end of cardiac surgery until the date of first occurrence of renal replacement therapy or in-hospital death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year after cardiac surgery.
Receiving any form of renal replacement therapy (such as continuous renal replacement therapy, intermittent hemodialysis, etc.) or any in-hospital death caused by any reason.
From the end of cardiac surgery until the date of first occurrence of renal replacement therapy or in-hospital death, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year after cardiac surgery.
CSA-AKI as defined by the AKIN standard
Time Frame: From the preoperative period to 48 hours after the operation
CSA-AKI as defined by AKIN: that is, the increase of serum creatinine within 48 hours is >26.5umol/L or > 50% of the baseline;
From the preoperative period to 48 hours after the operation
New CKD or progression of existing CKD
Time Frame: From the preoperative baseline assessment through 1 year after cardiac surgery
