Acute Renal Failure |
To enhance and validate an already pre-existing score accurately predicting post-operative acute renal failure (ARF) after hepatic surgery
We will enhance a pre-existing score predicting ARF based on pre-operative as well as intra-operative predictors.
Development process: we will identify the strongest predictors of ARF in a multivariable logistic regression model followed by a stepwise backward logistic regression analysis and bootstrapping.
Validation process: we will perform an internal validation by calibrating the prediction model as well as by k-fold cross validation (c statistics) and bootstrapping. Additionally, we will calculate the discrimination by the area under the curve (AUC).
Decision curve analysis: Furthermore we will perform a decision curve analysis to evaluate the clinical consequences of both prediction scores whether a patient with increased ARF risk would post-operative benefit of a treatment on the ICU.

Patients with post-operative ARF
Patients developing acute renal failure (ARF) following liver surgery ARF was defined according to the RIFLE criteria as an absolute increase in serum-creatinine of more than 0.3 mg/dl above baseline, or an increase of more than 1.5 times the pre-operative baseline value within 48 hours after surgery, or a reduction of urinary output less than 0.5 ml/kg/h for at least 6 hrs. |
Patients without post-operative ARF
Patients with normal kidney function (without acute renal failure (ARF)) following liver surgery
|
- Development of an enhanced prediction score for ARF [ Time Frame: within 48 hours post-operative ]Development of an enhanced but still simple and easy applicable score based on pre- and extended by intra-operative risk factors to predict postoperative ARF in patients scheduled for liver resection
- Decision curve analysis [ Time Frame: within 48 hours post-operative ]Describing a decision making model by performing a decision curve analysis for clinical consequences of the enhanced prediction score and comparing it with the pre-operative prediction score
- internal validation of the enhanced prediction score [ Time Frame: within 48 hours post-operative ]internal Validation: discrimination, calibration, k-fold cross validation and bootstrapping
