1 Impact of Acute Kidney Injury on One-Year Survival After Surgery for Aortic Dissection ADULT CARDIAC Hsing-Shan Tsai, MD, Feng-Chun Tsai, MD, Yung-Chang Chen, MD, Lung-Sheng Wu, MD, Shao-Wei Chen, MD, Jaw-Ji Chu, MD, Pyng-Jing Lin, MD, and Pao-Hsien Chu, MD, FCCP Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, and Department of Nephrology, Department of Internal Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taipei, Taiwan Background. Surgical treatment is an option for both type A aortic dissection and complicated type B aortic dissection. Acute kidney injury (AKI) influences the disease course after surgery. Our hypothesis was that AKI should be an important prognostic factor for aortic dissection after surgical treatment. Methods. Between July 2005 and October 2010, 268 patients (mean age years; range, 16 to 88) underwent open surgery for aortic dissection. We reviewed the clinical presentations, surgical variables, and postoperative outcomes to identify the risk factors of death. The 256 patients were divided into groups, with and without AKI, within 24 hours after operation according to the RIFLE (acronym for risk, injury, failure, loss, end stage) criteria. Results. The in-hospital mortality rate was 17.9%, the 1-year mortality rate was 18.7%, and the major adverse cardiac events rate within 1 year was 29.9%. In multivariate analysis, patients more than 70 years of age (hazard ratio [HR] 2.390, p 0.029), cardiogenic shock (HR 2.895, p 0.005), preoperative ventilator use (HR 4.137, p 0.018), operation at midnight (HR 2.295, p 0.028), longer bypass time (HR 1.007, p < 0.001), and AKI (HR 2.552, p 0.041) were clinical predictors of mortality. Kaplan- Meier analysis showed that the survival rate was strongly correlated with the severity of AKI by the RIFLE criteria. The independent predictors of AKI included hypertension (odds ratio 2.340, p 0.027), sepsis (odds ratio 2.594, p 0.043), and lower limb malperfusion (odds ratio 4.558, p 0.022). Conclusions. Our study provides outcomes of postoperative aortic dissection. We found that AKI was a predictor of 1-year mortality by using the RIFLE criteria. Factors associated with increased 1-year mortality and AKI should be taken into consideration for surgery and postoperative care.

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease. Surgical treatment is an option for type A aortic dissection and complicated type B aortic dissection [1]. Despite the development of endovascular interventions for aortic dissection and the improvement of postoperative management, open surgery remains the gold standard for acute type A dissection. A variety of risk factors of in-hospital and long-term mortality of aortic dissection have been elucidated [2 8]. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an independent outcome predictor in patients undergoing cardiac surgery [9 14]. Methods of preventing AKI using off-pump cardiac surgery and the necessity of hemodialysis before and after cardiac surgery have been discussed. Recently, the RIFLE criteria (risk, injury, failure, loss, end stage) have been developed as a classification system for AKI, and it has been widely applied in intensive and postoperative care [10, 11, 15 23]. A few studies have focused on the postoperative conditions of aortic dissection and AKI; however, none has used the RIFLE criteria [13, 24]. In this retrospective analysis, we used the RIFLE criteria to predict the 1-year prognosis of aortic dissection surgery. Material and Methods Study Population Between July 2005 and October 2010, 268 sequential patients undergoing open surgery for aortic dissection at the Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital were reviewed. The local Institutional Review Board of the hospital approved this retrospective study (CGMH96048B) and waived the need for individual consent. All data in our study were anonymized. Aortic dissection was proven by enhanced computed tomography and defined as type A or type B according to the Stanford classification. The patients underwent an emergency operation if they were diagnosed with Stanford type A aortic dissection or complicated Stanford type B aortic dissection with life threatening conditions (eg, rupture, malperfusion syndrome, progression of dissection, enlarging aneurysm, inability to control blood pressure, or symptoms) after surgical consultation and their agreement. The patients with complicated type B aortic dissection who 2012 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons /$36.00 Published by Elsevier Inc

Type B aortic dissection without associated complications was managed medically. Endovascular intervention was excluded from this retrospective analysis as we wanted to focus on the effects of traditional surgery. Four patients receiving regular hemodialysis and 8 patients who died on the first day after surgery were excluded from the subgroup analysis, as data on changes in consequent renal function were not available. Subgroup analysis of AKI was performed among the remaining 256 patients. Data Collection This was a retrospective study to review the baseline demographics, clinical data, mortality, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiac death, for 1 year after surgery [25 27]. The preoperative renal function was defined by the estimated glomerular filtration rate, using the Chinese Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation [28]. The RIFLE criteria were used to classify patients postoperatively into with AKI and without AKI groups by using the last preoperative and the 24-hour postoperative serum creatinine levels. RIFLE Criteria The RIFLE criteria were defined based on the magnitude of elevation in either serum creatinine or urine output, as listed in Table 1. We used the maximum change in serum creatinine level on the first day after surgery to classify patients according to the RIFLE criteria. Statistical Analysis Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages, and continuous variables as mean SD. The two-tailed Student s t test was used to compare continuous variables, and Pearson s 2 or Fisher s exact test to compare categorical variables. Significance was defined at a probability value of less than Potential relationships between clinical and surgical variables and death were explored in a time-to-event framework using Cox proportional hazard models. Kaplan-Meier curves Table 1.

Associations between variables and AKI were identified by a logistic regression equation, and in stepwise multivariate analysis. All statistical analyses were performed using Predictive Analytics Software, version 18.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL). Results Study Population Features The 268 patients in this retrospective analysis were predominantly male (72.8%), with a mean age of years (range, 16 to 88), and 31 patients (13.8%) were older than 70 years of age (Table 2). A majority 222 of 268 patients (82.8%) had diagnosed with hypertension, and 56% (124 of 222) of these patients had never received antihypertensive drugs. Comorbid conditions included 103 patients who had preoperative renal function impairment defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min (38.4%), Marfan syndrome (12.3%), and a history of prior aortic surgery (19.0%). On admission, 158 patients (59%) presented with chest pain. The frequency of syncope, branch involvement, cardiac tamponade, and unstable hemodynamic status were demonstrated. Outcomes Type A aortic dissection surgery (166 of 268, 61.9%) and emergency operations (176 of 268, 65.7%) were most commonly performed. Thirty-nine patients (14.6%) needed another operation to check internal bleeding after the aortic surgery, 34 patients (12.7%) had sepsis documented by blood culture results, and 19 patients (7.1%) were complicated with lower limb malperfusion after surgery. Acute kidney injury within 24 hours after operation occurred in more than half of the patients (52.7%) according to the RIFLE criteria, and 30 patients (11.2%) received temporary hemodialysis. The inhospital mortality rate was 17.9%, the 1-year mortality rate was 18.7%, and the MACE rate was 29.9%. A risk prediction model was then developed. In univariate analysis, advanced age (greater than 70 years), impaired preoperative renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate 60 ml/min), syncope, preoperative ventilator use, cardiogenic shock, branch involvement, acute type A, emergency operation, longer operation time, longer bypass time, prolonged ventilator use after surgery (more than 7 days), rechecking bleeding, sepsis, AKI, and the necessity of temporary hemodialysis were associated with increased mortality. However, Bentall surgery did not increase the postoperative mortality rate. Stepwise multivariate analysis identified patients older than 70 years of age (hazard ratio [HR] 2.390, p 0.029), cardiogenic shock (HR 2.895, p 0.005), preoperative ventilator use (HR 4.137, p 0.018), operation at midnight (HR 2.295, p 0.028), longer bypass time (HR 1.007, p 0.001), and AKI (HR 2.552, p 0.041) to be independent predictors of 1-year mortality (Table 3).

4 ADULT CARDIAC 1410 TSAI ET AL Ann Thorac Surg IMPACT OF AKI AFTER AORTIC DISSECTION SURGERY 2012;94: Incidence of AKI and Its Clinical Implications In the subgroup analysis, the 256 patients were divided into four groups according to the serum creatinine elevation 24 hours after operation, excluding 4 patients on preoperative regular dialysis and 8 patients who died on the day of the surgery as data on serum creatinine levels were not available. Among 135 patients in whom AKI developed within 24 hours after aortic surgery, 57 (47.3%) had an episode of AKI classified as RIFLE-R (risk), 56 (21.9%) had RIFLE-I (injury), and 22 (8.6%) had RIFLE-F (failure). The remaining 121 patients (47.3%) who did not have AKI on the first day were classified into to the fourth group. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of the individual RIFLE categories showed that the 1-year survival rate differed significantly by the magnitude of AKI (p 0.02; Fig 1). The patients were then separated into with AKI and without AKI groups to clarify the risk factors by univariate analysis (Table 4). The AKI group tended to have higher percentages of hypertension, more operations at midnight, longer operation time, longer bypass time, longer postoperative ventilator use, longer intensive care unit and hospital stay, more sepsis, higher incidence of lower limb malperfusion, and higher mortality rate. However, the AKI group was younger, had less preoperative ventilator use, and no significant cardiogenic shock on arrival. Finally, among all patients after aortic surgery, multivariate analysis identified hypertension (odds ratio 2.340, p 0.027), sepsis (odds ratio 2.594, p 0.043), and lower limb malperfusion (odds ratio 4.558, p 0.022) as independent predictors of postoperative AKI (Table 5). Comment Repair for type A aortic dissection or complicated type B aortic dissection saves life. However, the in-hospital mortality and long-term mortality rates remain high despite decades of experience, advances in diagnosis, improved surgical techniques, myocardial protection, and postoperative management [3, 7, 8, 10, 29 31]. In this study, we found an in-hospital mortality rate of 17.9%, 1-year mortality rate of 18.7%, postoperative stroke rate of 16%, and MACE rate of 29.9%. The mortality results Table 3.

Fig 1. Survival analysis of patients in different stages of acute kidney injury (AKI) showed the prognosis to be related to the severity of renal dysfunction (p 0.02). The number of patients at risk is shown at the bottom of the graph. (RIFLE risk, injury, failure, loss, end stage renal disease.) are comparable to previous studies, with reported rates ranging from 13% to 30% [8, 29, 32 36]. A variety of risk factors, including age, clinical presentation, poor preoperative renal function, false lumen size, a previous cardiac surgery history, prolonged bypass time, and postoperative AKI, have been discussed after cardiac surgery [2 5, 10, 29, 37]. In this study, advanced age (greater than 70 years) and cardiogenic shock could predict a poor clinical outcome. However, a history of prior aortic surgery should not preclude patients from surgical correction of aortic dissection as stated in previous reports [33]. During an operation, a prolonged bypass times increases the possibility of death. After the operation, AKI within 24 hours was also an important predictor of mortality. The reported incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery depends on its definition. The high incidence of AKI in this study is a concern, as it may lead to a higher dialysis rate. Acute kidney injury is an important issue in cardiac surgery, as it can lead to a worse prognosis and death [9, 10]. Our study used the RIFLE criteria to show that the severity of AKI within 24 hours after operation is a good predictor for 1-year mortality after aortic correction. Most patients who died (32 of 42, 76.2%) experienced AKI after surgery during the first 24 hours, and 84% of the patients (27 of 32) underwent temporal hemodialysis postoperatively. The first 24 hours is critical for the prediction of AKI, and AKI may be preventable, thereby leading to a reduction in the mortality rate. It is simple and cost effective to use the maximum changes in serum creatinine levels on the first day after aortic surgery according to the RIFLE criteria to predict the mortality risk.

After multivariate analysis, hypertension, sepsis, and the occurrence of lower limb malperfusion were independent predictors of AKI. Hence, further prospective studies are needed to investigate strategies (eg, the control of blood pressure, the prevention of sepsis, and the improvement of lower limb perfusion) to decrease AKI and lower the mortality rate. Study Limitations This is a retrospective study, and some data of the cross-clamp time and circulatory arrest time were missing. Among the 268 patients, we only had data on cross-clamp times for 210 patients, and circulatory arrest times for 239. The missing data may have led to statistical inaccuracies. In addition, we did not have complete renal function data after 24 hours, and we were not able to accurately compare the development of AKI beyond 24 hours after surgery. In conclusion, aortic dissection is a disease associated with a high mortality rate. In multivariate analysis, patients older than 70 years of age, with cardiogenic shock, preoperative ventilator use, operation at midnight, prolonged bypass time, and AKI could predict the 1-year mortality rate after surgery for aortic dissection. Acute kidney injury, defined according to the RIFLE criteria, was an accurate early predictor of 1-year mortality, and could help in making decisions about postoperative care. In multivariate analysis, hypertension, sepsis, and the occurrence of lower limb malperfusion were predictors of AKI. With the advances in medical care and standardized surgical techniques, reducing aortic dissection-related complications and comorbidities may represent the most efficacious strategy for improving results.
