Background. Limited information exists on the influence of preoperative renal dysfunction on in- hospital mortality after valve and combined valve and coronary procedures. The impact of preoperative renal dysfunction on patient outcome was investigated. Methods. This was a retrospective observational study of 916 patients who underwent solitary valve or combined procedures. Primary outcome was in- hospital mortality. Preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated with the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Results. Independent predictors of death were prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.05), preoperative atrial fibrillation (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.54), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.06 to 4.55), and prolonged operation time (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.01). Each unit of the eGFR (mL/min/1.73m(2)) above average exerted a renoprotective effect (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96 to 0.98). The final regression model showed no lack of fit (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p = 0.38) and a good discrimination performance in a receiver operating characteristic analysis (area under the curve, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.80 to 0.88). The lower the preoperative eGFR rate, the longer the postoperative stay at the intensive care unit. Conclusions. Renal dysfunction is an important independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in adult patients after valve and combined valve and coronary procedures.
