Advancing Perioperative Risk Stratification: Predicting Acute Kidney Injury Following Lung Transplantation

Highlight

• Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently after lung transplantation, adversely impacting patient outcomes.
• Novel perioperative prediction models were developed using comprehensive preoperative and early postoperative variables.
• Postoperative models incorporating procedure duration, oxygenation ratios, and vasopressor dosage show superior accuracy for AKI and renal replacement therapy (RRT) prediction.
• These models may guide early risk stratification and targeted interventions to mitigate renal complications after lung transplantation.
