BACKGROUND: Data are limited regarding risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). This observational study was performed to examine temporal trends in AKI incidence according to the Pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage Renal Disease (pRIFLE) criteria, identify independent risk factors for AKI after cardiac surgery, and examine associations between AKI and long-term mortality. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 418 patients (259 males, 159 females; median age, 5 months) who underwent cardiac surgery for CHD between April 2007 and August 2013. Patients were followed up for 2 years. AKI was defined according to the pRIFLE criteria as ≥25% decrease in estimated creatinine clearance. RESULTS: AKI developed postoperatively in 104 cases (24.9%). Approximately 80% belonged to the "Risk" category according to the pRIFLE criteria, and only 21 cases (5%) required renal replacement therapy (peritoneal dialysis in all cases). Multivariate analysis revealed 3 independent risk factors for onset of AKI: young age (<1 year), surgery in Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS-1) category ≥4, and long cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (≥90 min). Twenty-three patients (22%) with AKI died during the 2-year follow-up. In multivariate cox hazard regression analysis, the most significant contributor to risk of mortality was AKI. CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative AKI was strongly associated with young age, high RACHS-1 category, and prolonged CPB time. In addition, mortality rate was higher in patients who survived after recovery from AKI than in those without AKI, even among the lower pRIFLE categories.
