| Popis: | had Stage 3 (severe) WRF. All WRF stages were independently associated with postheart transplantation, in-hospital mortality regardless of whether traditionally defined renal dysfunction was present or not; mild WRF (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.1, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.2-3.5), moderate WRF (AOR 2.7, 95% CI 1.1-6.7), and severe WRF (AOR 3.6, 95% CI 2.0-6.5). Among hospital survivors, the association of WRF with subsequent survival did not reach statistical significance (hazard ratio 1.2, 95% confidence interval 0.9-1.7). Conclusions: Worsening renal function occurs frequently in children awaiting heart transplantation and is associated with early post-transplant mortality even when traditional definitions of renal dysfunction are not met. Worsening renal function does not appear to affect post-discharge survival. |
