Abstrakt: Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after cardiac surgery that significantly affects patient outcomes. Given the limited treatment options available, identifying modifiable risk factors is critical. Frailty and obesity, two heterogeneous physiological states, have significant implications for identifying and preventing AKI. Our study investigated the interplay among frailty, body composition, and AKI risk after cardiac surgery to inform patient management strategies.
Material and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included three international cohorts. Primary analysis was conducted in adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2014 and 2019 at Wuhan XX Hospital, China. We tested the generalizability of our findings with data from two independent international cohorts, the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database. Frailty was assessed using a clinical lab-based frailty index (FI-LAB), while total body fat percentage (BF%) was calculated based on a formula accounting for BMI, sex, and age. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between frailty, body fat, and AKI, adjusting for pertinent covariates.
Results: A total of 8785 patients across three international cohorts were included in the study. In the primary analysis of 3,569 patients from Wuhan XX Hospital, moderate and severe frailty were associated with an increased AKI risk after cardiac surgery. Moreover, a nonlinear relationship was observed between body fat percentage and AKI risk. When stratified by the degree of frailty, lower body fat correlated with a decreased incidence of AKI. Extended analyses using the MIMIC-IV and eICU cohorts (n=3,951 and n=1,265, respectively) validated these findings and demonstrated that a lower total BF% was associated with decreased AKI incidence. Moderation analysis revealed that the effect of frailty on AKI risk was moderated by the body fat percentage. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated results consistent with the main analyses.
Conclusion: Higher degrees of frailty were associated with an elevated risk of AKI following cardiac surgery, and total BF% moderated this relationship. This research underscores the significance of integrating frailty and body fat assessments into routine cardiovascular care to identify high-risk patients for AKI and implement personalized interventions to improve patient outcomes.
