Readmissions after Acute Kidney Injury during Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation Hospitalization.

CONCLUSION: AKI-D was associated with highest -30-day readmission risk, possibly related to negatively synergistic effects of LVAD, kidney dysfunction, and dialysis related factors on infection and GI bleeding risks. AKI alone was not associated with increased readmission risk. PMID: 31962311 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
