Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between statin use and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
- Statin users showed a significantly lower risk of overall and cardiovascular-related mortality compared to nonusers, with the most notable benefit seen from atorvastatin.
- The findings suggest that using statins, particularly atorvastatin, may enhance survival rates in hospitalized AKI patients, although the benefits didn't extend to other complications like sepsis-related mortality or kidney recovery rates.
: Acute kidney injury (AKI), a prevalent postoperative complication, predominantly manifests as stage 1, characterized by a mild elevation in serum creatinine (SCr). There is yet to be a consensus regarding the association between stage 1 AKI and adverse outcomes in surgical patients. This retrospective study enrolled adult patients who underwent at least one surgery during hospitalization from the MIMIC IV database.
