Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the incidence and some of risk factors of AKI after cardiac surgery using all three diagnostic criteria (AKIN,RIFLE, and KIDGO).
Method:We searched for published literature in the English language in MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASETM via Ovid, The Cochrane Library, and Trip database. For literature published in other languages, we searched national databases (Magiran and SID) , KoreaMed and LILACS, and we searched OpenGrey (www.opengrey.eu/) and the World Health Organization Clinical Trials Registry (who.int/ictrp) for unpublished literature and ongoing studies.To ensure the literature saturation, the list of the included research references or the relevant reviews found by searching was studied(MS).The keywords used in the search strategy were Acute kidney injury,acute renal failure, creatinine,cardiac surgery,heart surgury, Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG),valve replacement,RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss, end-stage renal disease) ,Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN),KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) , which were combined using the AND, OR, and NOT operators.
Results:A total of 33298 patients who had undergone the cardiac surgery were studied. Based on the random effect model the total prevalence of AKI in 33298 patients undergone the heart surgery was 26.3% (95% confidence interval[CI]:26.1%,26.6%, I 2 =99.5%). the total prevalence of AKI in patients undergone cardiac surgery based on AKIN criteria was 21.6% (95% CI -21.2%, 22.1%,I 2 =98.5%) of whom 21.6% (95% CI-21.2%,22.1%,I 2 =98.5%) were classified as AKIN stage 1, whereas 3% (95% CI-2.7%%,3.4%%,I 2 =90.6%) were classified as AKIN stage 2, and 3.2% (95% CI-3.0%%,3.4%%,I 2 =97.2%) were classified as AKIN stage 3. the total prevalence of AKI in patients undergone cardiac surgery based on RIFLE criteria was 26.0%% (95% CI -25.6%, 26.5%,I 2 =99.4%). total prevalence of AKI in patients undergone cardiac surgery based on KDIGO criteria was 34.7% (95% CI -33.8%, 35.7%,I 2 =98.4%). the highest prevalence of AKI in patients undergone cardiac surgery was in Brazil 45.7% (95% CI -43.6%, 47.8%) based on 3 articles included followed by USA with a prevalence of 29.6%(95% CI -28.7%, 29.4%) based on 7 articles included, Uruguay with a
Inclusion CriteriaThe methods used in this systematic review were developed based on the PRISMA guidelines. Crosssectional studies, case-control, and cohort studies were included in this study, while case studies, letters to editors, case reports, clinical trials, study protocols, systematic reviews, and review articles were excluded.Participants: All studies on the prevalence of acute renal failure in patients undergoing cardiac surgery were reviewed.
Results:The main purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of acute renal failure in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and the data were collected according to the released reports.
Sampling Methods and Sample Size:All observational studies were included in the systematic review regardless of...
