A Small Increase in Serum Creatinine within 48  h of Hospital Admission Is an Independent Predictor of In-Hospital Adverse Outcomes in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Findings from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in the China Project

CONCLUSION: A small increase in Scr during hospitalization in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI that does not meet the criteria for AKI is a risk factor for in-hospital adverse outcomes. This effect is maintained in patients with normal Scr at hospitalization. Trial Registration. Clinical trial registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
