About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Doppler Renal Resistive Index in Early Detection of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Bypass Cardiac Surgeries

The primary aim of our study was to investigate the role of renal doppler ultrasonography (USG) and preoperative/postoperative renal resistive index (RRI) in the early prediction of AKI. Our secondary aim is to evaluate perioperative parameters that may cause AKI, to determine the duration of intensive care unit (ICU)/hospitalization and 30-day mortality.

Read the detailed description

Our prospective, observational, cross-sectional study included patients with elective cardiac surgery under general anesthesia with prolonged CRP (>70 min) and aortic cross-clamp (ACC) (>60 min), >18 years of age, without preoperative acute/chronic renal failure, and with preoperative/postoperative RRI measurements. Demographic data, comorbidities, medications, preoperative ejection fraction, admission hematocrit (HCT) and baseline serum creatinine (sCr), type of operation, and preoperative RRI were recorded. Intraoperative operation and CPB/ACC duration, blood product transfusion, urine output, amount of bleeding, fluid balance, use of vasopressor/inotropic agents and diuretics, and complications were recorded. RRI was measured by the same radiologist in the first postoperative hour. Urine output and fluid balance, vasopressor/inotropic agent requirement, diuretic use, sKr, HCT level and blood product transfusion were recorded for 3 days postoperatively. According to KDIGO guidelines, patients who did not develop CCI-AKI were divided into 2 groups as Group 1 (n:64) and patients who developed CCI-AKI were divided into Group 2 (n:26). In Group 2, renal failure stage, duration (acute/chronic) and RRT were recorded. ICU and hospital length of stay, postoperative complications and 30-day mortality were recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of preoperative, postoperative renal resistive index [median (min-max)]

    The study aims to evaluate preoperative and postoperative renal resistive index (RRI) values between two groups. The renal resistive index (RRI) is a measure of renal vascular resistance obtained via Doppler ultrasound. . RRI values of 0.7 or higher are associated with worse renal outcomes, as they indicate increased vascular resistance. Statistical analyses will be performed to compare preoperative and postoperative RRI values between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  2. Preoperative-postoperative percentage change of RRI (∆RRI) between two groups

    The study aims to evaluate percentage change RRI (∆RRI) between two groups. Statistical analyses will be performed to compare magnitude of change in ∆RRI, between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  3. Postoperative RRI ROC analysis

    The study aims to assess the utility of postoperative renal resistive index (RRI) in predicting the development of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis will be employed to determine the discriminatory power of postoperative RRI and identify an optimal cut-off value for predicting CSA-AKI. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive probabilities associated with the cut-off value will be evaluated.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  4. Postoperative grouping of patients according to KDIGO criteria

    The study plans to include 90 patients, categorized into two groups based on the KDIGO criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI): patients who do not develop cardiac surgery-associated AKI (CSA-AKI) and patients who do develop CSA-AKI. To analyze differences between the groups, specific clinical and biochemical parameters will be assessed and reported as separate outcome measures. These parameters will include [specific measurements, e.g., serum creatinine levels (mg/dL), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, mL/min/1.73m²), and urine output (mL/kg/hour)]. Each parameter will be assessed using standard laboratory or clinical methods, with units of measurement specified for each outcome. If multiple measurements are aggregated to generate a single outcome (e.g., BMI calculated from weight and height), this will be clearly described in the analysis.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Hematocrit Change over Time [median (min-max)]

    The study will assess changes in intraoperative hematocrit (Hct) values over time. Hct levels will be measured at predefined stages of the operation, including the warm-up period, and comparisons between the groups will be conducted to evaluate potential differences.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  2. Distribution of Intraoperative Urine Output (mL) [median (min-max)]

    The study will evaluate intraoperative urine output (mL) between the groups. Urine output will be measured at three distinct time points: before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), during CPB, and after CPB.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  3. Distribution of Intraoperative Administered Fluids (mL) [median (min-max)]

    The study will evaluate the volume of fluids administered intraoperatively in both groups. The total volume of fluids administered (mL) during the intraoperative period will be recorded and analyzed.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  4. Distribution of Intraoperative Fluid Balance (mL) Between Groups [median (min-max)]

    Fluid balance will be assessed intraoperatively as the difference between the total volume of fluids administered and the total output (urine and other losses). This parameter will be reported in mL and analyzed to identify differences between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  5. Comparison of Urine Output in the First 3 Postoperative Days Between and Within Groups [mean ± SD]

    The study will evaluate postoperative urine output in both groups over the first three days following surgery. Urine output will be measured daily, and comparisons will be conducted to assess differences between the groups at each time point.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  6. Comparison of Fluid Balance in the First 3 Postoperative Days Between and Within Groups[mean ± SD]

    The study will analyze 24-hour fluid balance values for the first three postoperative days. Daily fluid balance values will be compared between the groups to identify potential differences at each time point.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  7. Intergroup and Intragroup Comparison of Postoperative First 3 Days sKr Values [median (min-max)]

    The study will assess serum creatinine (sCr) levels over the first three postoperative days. Comparisons will be made between the groups to evaluate differences in sCr values at each time point.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  8. Comparison of Postoperative Duration of ICU Stay, Duration of Hospitalization Between Groups (day) [median (min-max)]

    This outcome measure will evaluate and compare the postoperative duration of ICU stay and the total duration of hospitalization (in days) between the two groups. The duration of ICU stay will be recorded as the total number of days patients spend in the ICU after surgery, while the duration of hospitalization will include the total number of days from admission to discharge. Both outcomes will be reported as median values (with minimum and maximum ranges) for each group. Statistical analyses will be conducted to identify any significant differences between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  9. Comparison of duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation (hour) [median (min-max)]

    The study will compare the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation between the groups. This outcome measure will record the total time (in hours) that patients require mechanical ventilation following surgery. Data will be presented as the median value with a range (minimum to maximum) to account for variability. Statistical analyses will be conducted to identify any significant differences in mechanical ventilation duration between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  10. Comparison of Postoperative prolonged mechanical ventilation (>6 hours) Between Groups [median (min-max)]

    This outcome measure evaluates the incidence of prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation, defined as ventilation duration exceeding 6 hours, in each group. The data will be reported as the percentage of patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, along with the median duration of ventilation and its range (min-max). Statistical comparisons will be conducted to determine significant differences between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  11. Comparison of Postoperative 1-month mortality rate Between Groups [median (min-max)]

    The study will compare the postoperative 1-month mortality rate between the groups. This outcome measure represents the proportion of patients who die within 30 days after surgery. The mortality rate will be reported as a percentage and summarized using median (min-max) values for each group. Statistical analyses will be conducted to evaluate differences in 1-month mortality rates between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  12. Postoperative Blood and Blood Products Transfusion, n (percent)

    The study will assess the number of erythrocyte suspension (ES) transfusions required in each group. Subgroup analysis will be conducted to evaluate the incidence of transfusion requirements between the groups.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024

  13. KDIGO Stages in Patients with Renal Failure, n (percent)

    The study will assess the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification. The KDIGO staging system categorizes AKI into three stages (Stage 1 to Stage 3) based on serum creatinine levels and urine output. Higher stages indicate worse outcomes, reflecting greater severity of renal dysfunction. The study will also evaluate the occurrence of renal failure, the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), and the rate of permanent renal failure. The timing of AKI onset and the need for interventions such as continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) or hemodialysis during the postoperative period will be monitored.

    Measured: Cases between September 2022 and January 2024
