Aim: We aimed to compare the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by different denominators and AKI definitions in a single population.
Background: AKI is a common complication among patients undergoing PCI. Estimated incidence of AKI after PCI varied widely because of diverse AKI definitions, denominators, sample sizes and populations.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 4,638 patients undergoing PCIs at a tertiary care center. We excluded patients who received dialysis before PCI (467 patients) and those whose baseline serum creatinine were missing (6 patients), contributing to denominator 1 (n=4165 patients). We further excluded 2961 patients whose post-procedural creatinine were unavailable, contributing to denominator 2 (n=1204 patients). AKI was defined as creatinine increases of ≥25% or ≥0.5 mg/dL (contrast-induced nephropathy, CIN), or ≥50% or ≥0.3 mg/dL (acute kidney injury network criteria, AKIN).
Results: By using denominator 1, the AKI incidence was 4.87% (AKIN) and 4.56% (CIN). By using denominator 2, the AKI incidence was 16.78% (AKIN) and 15.78% (CIN). There was a threefold difference of AKI incidence in the same population. Compared with those whose post-PCI creatinine unavailable, patients with post-PCI creatinine data were significantly older (63.25 vs. 68.55 years old, p< 0.001), worse baseline kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate 68.95 vs. 50.80 ml/min/1.73m2, p< 0.001), more comorbidities including diabetes, prior PCI, and prior heart failure, more acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and more severe in clinical conditions including acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
Conclusions: The AKI incidences may be biased with different denominators. Collecting pre- and post-PCI creatinine in all PCI patients is needed for accurate estimation of AKI incidence.
