Incidence, prognostic impact, and optimal definition of contrast‐induced acute kidney injury in consecutive patients with stable or unstable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. insights from the all‐comer PRODIGY trial

ConclusionsIn a large, contemporary, all‐comers percutaneous coronary intervention population, CI‐AKI was associated with an increased risk of all‐cause death and the composite of death, stroke, or MI. While CI‐AKI is more common in ACS than in stable CAD patients, its adjusted prognostic impact on the composite endpoint appears to be more pronounced in patients with stable CAD. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
