Are Urinary Biomarkers Better Than Acute Kidney Injury Duration for Predicting Readmission?
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cardiac surgery. Postprocedural AKI is a risk factor for 30-day readmission. We sought to examine the association of AKI and kidney injury biomarkers with readmission after cardiac surgery.
