Early surgery after angiography in patients scheduled for valve replacement.

Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals
Background There are limited data regarding the risks of cardiac surgery early after coronary angiography in patients scheduled for isolated aortic and/or mitral valve replacement. Our aim was to evaluate the risk of early surgery after coronary angi...

Prediction and detection models for acute kidney injury in hospitalized older adults.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs in at least 5 % of hospitalized patients and can result in 40-70 % morbidity and mortality. Even following recovery, many subjects may experience progressive deterioration of renal function. The heterogene...

RenalGuard system in high-risk patients for contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

American heart journal
BACKGROUND: High urine flow rate (UFR) has been suggested as a target for effective prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). The RenalGuard therapy (saline infusion plus furosemide controlled by the RenalGuard system) facilitates ...

Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 and the Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether using hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 as a pump prime and for intraoperative fluid therapy is associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after adult cardiac surgery.

Predictive Value of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin for Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Catheterization: A Meta-analysis.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) accumulates in cortical tubules in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with its levels associated with serum creatinine. However, the predictive value of NGAL level for contrast-induced ac...

Beating Heart Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients With Patent Coronary Bypass Grafts.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Redo mitral valve surgery in patients with patent coronary bypass grafts carries a risk of graft injury and postoperative bleeding. We compare early results of reoperative minimally invasive on-pump beating heart mitral valve surgery (OPB...

High-dimensional multiple imputation for partially observed confounders including natural language processing-derived auxiliary covariates.

American journal of epidemiology
Multiple imputation (MI) models can be improved with auxiliary covariates (ACs), but their performance in high-dimensional data remains unclear. We aimed to develop and compare high-dimensional MI (HDMI) methods using structured and natural language ...
