Objective To investigate the prevalence, severity and consequences of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the patients who underwent total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC).Methods The clinical data of TCPC patients in our center from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2014 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The patients with renal replacement therapy, missing serum creatinine data before operation or combined with valve procedures were excluded. We identified whether AKI was associated with hospital length of stay, ICU duration, mechanical ventilation duration, hospital acquired infection, and early mortality by univariable and multivariable analyses.Results A total of 163 patients were included. AKI occurred in 57% of patients (n=93), mild AKI in 26.4% (n=43), moderate AKI in 12.3% (n=20) and severe AKI in 18.4% (n=30). Compared with the no AKI group, the AKI group had higher hospital acquired infection rate (15.1% vs. 0.0%, P<0.001). AKI was independently associated with hospital length of stay (median, 10 d, 95%CI 3.9-16.0, P=0.001), ICU duration (median, 103.9, 95%CI 48.6-159.2, P<0.001) , but not associated with mechanical ventilation duration (median, 8 h vs. 7 h, P=0.529).Conclusion Postoperative AKI in the patients undergoing TCPC is common. AKI is associated with higher hospital acquired infection rate, longer hospital length of stay and ICU duration, but not associated with mechanical ventilation duration.
