SUNY Student and Resident Training: National Long-term Vision (EP Video)

This study identified several risk factors for the development of AKI after cardiac surgery. Further validation of these risk factors could allow the implementation of adequate patient management, and the appropriate implementation of risk-adverse interventions in cardiovascular surgery.

Surgical database research is here to stay, and its use will only increase. Decisions made from the time the data set is imported to the final regression model can impact the validity of the findings. A system that questions these steps will pay off with replicable, valid data that are more likely to be accurate and beneficial when informing clinical practice.
