Brief summary
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to learn about the intervenable risk factors of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality among adult patients undergoing major surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does preoperative usage of potential nephrotoxic medications (eg., proton pump inhibitor, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) increase the risk of postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality? 2. Does preoperative status (eg., malnutrition, hypoalbuminemia, hypomagnesemia) increase the risk of postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality? 3. Are there intervenable risk factors of postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality? 4. Are there special risk factors of postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality in specific patients (eg. elderly, diabetics)? The study will be conducted in retrospective cohort of patients undergoing major surgery. Participants are followed until discharge.
Detailed description
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), characterized by a rapid decline of kidney function, is a common but serious postoperative complication in surgical patients, with an incidence ranging from 5.3% to 18.4%. Postoperative AKI is associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher medical costs. Survivors are also prone to developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) or even end-stage renal disease (ESRD) . Identifying intervenable risk factors of postoperative AKI can help clinicians develop targeted strategies for high-risk patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative acute kidney injury | within 7 days after major surgery | Acute kidney injury was defined by the KDIGO criteria. Postoperative AKI referred to acute kidney injury occurring within 7 days after major surgery. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| In-hospital acute kidney injury | after major surgery until up to 1year | Acute kidney injury was defined by the KDIGO criteria. In-hospital acute kidney injury referred to acute kidney injury occurring after major surgery before discharge. |
| In-hospital mortality | after major surgery until up to 1 year | death during hospitalization |
