Abstract
Background Post-cardiac surgery acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication associated with increased mortality, longer ICU stays, and higher healthcare costs. The Cleveland Clinic Scoring Tool (CCST) aids preoperative risk evaluation, facilitating tailored prevention strategies. Aim This study evaluates the relevance of the CCST in prospectively assessing AKI risk in adult patients undergoing various cardiac surgeries. Methods This prospective cohort study (tertiary centre, Jan 2021-Aug 2023) assessed the CCST for preoperative AKI risk in adult open-heart surgery (OHS) patients. Consenting adults (≥18) undergoing elective/emergency OHS were included, excluding those with pre- AKI (KDIGO), dialysis-dependent ESRD, aortic dissection, shock, or refusal. Powered convenience sampling was used. Preoperative and intraoperative data were collected. Postoperative AKI (KDIGO), ventilation/ICU/hospital stay, complications, and mortality were recorded. Renal function was monitored daily post-op. Follow-up: 30 days/discharge.
