Abstract Background Perioperative hemoglobin drop after noncardiac surgery is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). However, opinion on the tolerable difference in postoperative hemoglobin drop in patients with different preoperative hemoglobin levels does not reach a consensus. This study aimed to identify hemoglobin drop thresholds for AKI after noncardiac surgery stratified by preoperative hemoglobin levels. Method This was a single-center retrospective cohort study for elective noncardiac surgery from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2018. The endpoint was the occurrence of AKI 7 days postoperatively in the hospital. The generalized additive model described the non-linear relationship between hemoglobin drop and AKI occurrence. The minimum P-value approach identified cut-off points of hemoglobin drop within postoperative 7 days for patients with or without preoperative anemia. Stratified by preoperative anemia, hemoglobin drop’s odds ratio as continuous, quintile and dichotomous variables by various cut-off points for postoperative AKI were calculated in multivariate logistic regression models before and after propensity score weighting (PSW). Results Of the 35,631 surgery, 5.9% (2105 cases) suffered postoperative AKI. Non-linearity was found between hemoglobin drop and postoperative AKI occurrence. The thresholds and corresponding odds ratio of perioperative hemoglobin drop for patients with and without preoperative anemia were 18 g/L (1.38 (95%CI 1.14 -1.62), P |
