Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: inpatients aged 18 or older who were prescribed RAASis for at least one month prior to admission and were undergoing CAG during hospitalization between April 2005 and March 2019. Only first admissions with CAG and those who had a creatinine measurement within 30 days prior to CAG were included in our study. To restrict the focus to patients at risk of AKI, only patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 15-60 ml/min/1.73 m2 were included. To minimize the influence of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina and the dosage of contrast media, we focused on patients undergoing CAG without percutaneous coronary intervention.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients undergoing dialysis within 3 days after admission were excluded. Patients with missing values for the primary diagnosis were also excluded because the primary diagnosis was treated as one of the explanatory variables in a previous study and may influence the incidence of AKI.
