Article Abstract
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious postoperative complication associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Identifying patients at risk for AKI is important for risk stratification and management. This study aimed to develop an AKI risk prediction model for colectomy and determine if the operative approach (laparoscopic versus open) alters the influence of predictive factors through an interaction term analysis.
Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was analyzed from 2005 to 2019. Patients undergoing laparoscopic and open colectomy were identified and propensity score matched. Multivariable logistic regression identified significant preoperative demographic, comorbidity, and laboratory value predictors of AKI. The predictive ability of a baseline model consisting of these variables was compared to a proposed model incorporating interaction terms between operative approach and predictor variables using the likelihood ratio test, c-statistic, and Brier score. Shapley Additive Explanations values assessed relative importance of significant predictors.
Results: 252,372 patients were included in the analysis. Significant AKI predictors were hypertension, age, sex, race, body mass index, smoking, diabetes, preoperative sepsis, Congestive heart failure, preoperative creatinine, preoperative albumin, and operative approach (P < 0.001). The proposed model with interaction terms had improved predictive ability per the likelihood ratio test (P < 0.05) but had no statistically significant interaction terms. C-statistic and Brier scores did not improve. Shapley Additive Explanations analysis showed hypertension had the highest importance. The importance of age and diabetes showed some variation between operative approaches.
Conclusions: While the inclusion of interaction terms collectively improved AKI prediction, no individual operative approach interaction terms were significant. Including operative approach interactions may enhance predictive ability of AKI risk models for colectomy.
