All rights reserved.METHODS: In the Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network, 16 centers submitted data on CICU admissions including acute RRT (defined as continuous renal replacement therapy and/or acute intermittent dialysis).RESULTS: Among 2,985 admissions, 178 (6.0%; interhospital range 1.0%-16.0%) received acute RRT. Patients receiving RRT, versus not, were more commonly admitted for cardiogenic shock (15.7% vs 4.2%, P<.01), cardiac arrest (9.6% vs 3.7%, P<.01), and acute general medical diagnoses (10.7% vs 5.8%, P<.01), whereas acute coronary syndromes (16.9% vs 32.1%, P<.01) were less frequent. Variables independently associated with acute RRT included diabetes, heart failure, liver disease, severe valvular disease, shock, cardiac arrest, hypertension, and younger age. In patients receiving acute RRT, versus not, advanced therapies including mechanical ventilation (55.6% vs 18.0%), vasoactive support (73.0% vs 35.2%), invasive hemodynamic monitoring (59.6% vs 29.2%), and mechanical circulatory support (27.5% vs 8.4%) were more common. Acute RRT was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (42.1% vs 9.3%, adjusted odds ratio 3.74, 95% CI, 2.52-5.53) and longer median length of stay (10.0 vs 5.3days, P<.01). In conclusion, acute RRT in contemporary CICUs was associated with the provision of other advanced therapies and lower survival.All authors: Barnett CF, Barsness GW, Bohula EA, Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network Investigators, Daniels LB, DeFilippis A, Jentzer JC, Katz JN, Kenigsberg BB, Morrow DA, Park JG, Phreaner N, Singam NS, Ternus B, Tymchak W, van Diepen SOriginally published: American Heart Journal. 222:8-14, 2020 Jan 15.Fiscal year: FY2020Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2020-02-10

METHODS: In the Critical Care Cardiology Trials Network, 16 centers submitted data on CICU admissions including acute RRT (defined as continuous renal replacement therapy and/or acute intermittent dialysis).

RESULTS: Among 2,985 admissions, 178 (6.0%; interhospital range 1.0%-16.0%) received acute RRT. Patients receiving RRT, versus not, were more commonly admitted for cardiogenic shock (15.7% vs 4.2%, P<.01), cardiac arrest (9.6% vs 3.7%, P<.01), and acute general medical diagnoses (10.7% vs 5.8%, P<.01), whereas acute coronary syndromes (16.9% vs 32.1%, P<.01) were less frequent.
