Applicability of the Cleveland Clinic Scoring System for the risk prediction of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery in a South Asian cohort

Conclusion The modified Cleveland Clinic Scoring Tool was valid in risk identification of patients with severe stage of AKI but did not have strong discrimination for early AKI stages. Preoperative statin use did not protect against AKI in our study, however preoperative ARB/ACEI use was significantly associated with occurrence of postoperative AKI.
