Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To test the association between transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and incidence of acute kidney injury and length of hospitalization among United States adults undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. DESIGN: This was an observational, retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING: This study used a multicenter claims dataset from a commercially insured population undergoing CABG surgery in the United States between 2004 and 2016. PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 18 years or older with continuous insurance enrollment and an absence of renal-related diagnoses before the index CABG surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Receipt of TEE within 1 calendar day of the index CABG surgery date. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of 51,487 CABG surgeries, 5,361 (10.4%; [95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.1-10.7%]) developed acute kidney injury and the mean length of hospitalization was 8.8 days (95% CI: 8.7-8.8). The TEE group demonstrated a greater absolute risk difference (RD) for acute kidney injury by multiple linear regression, overall, (RD=+1.0; [95% CI: 0.4-1.5%]; p < 0.001) and among a low-risk subgroup (RD=+1.0; [95% CI: 0.4-1.6; p = 0.002), but not by instrumental variable analysis (RD=+0.9 [95% CI: -1.1 to 2.9%]; p = 0.362). The TEE group demonstrated a longer length of hospitalization by multiple linear regression, overall (+2.0%; [95% CI: 1.1-2.9%]; p < 0.001), among a low-risk subgroup (+2.2%; [95% CI: 1.2-3.2%]; p < 0.001), and by instrumental variable analysis (+10.3%; [95% CI: 7.0-13.7%]; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: TEE monitoring in CABG surgery was not associated with a lower incidence of acute kidney injury or decreased length of hospitalization. These findings highlight the importance of additional work to study the clinical effectiveness of TEE in CABG surgery.
