The Incidence, Associated Factors and in-Hospital Outcomes of Cardiac-Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury Among Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery at Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute. A Hospital-Based Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is one of the serious complications that can potentially increase the risk of morbidity, long-term adverse effects and mortality. Despite the advances in the care and increased survival of children post-cardiac surgery, CSA-AKI is still a big problem with considerable morbidity and mortality in high-risk children. Prevention of CSA-AKI is important for survival and minimization of long-term adverse outcomes of children after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to determine the proportion of acute kidney injury, associated risk factors and in-hospital outcomes among children undergoing cardiac surgery at the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI). Methodology: A prospective cohort study was conducted to determine the proportion, risk factors, and in-hospital outcomes among children who developed cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) at JKCI. Data collection was done using a structured questionnaire, Intensive care unit (ICU) chart review, and hospital records. Diagnosis of CSA-AKI was done based on KDIGO criteria. Serum creatinine was measured pre-operatively and subsequently, daily up to day seven postoperatively to determine the presence of CSA-AKI. Results: A total of 210 children were recruited into the study, of which 120 (57.1%) were males. The median age of the study participants was 36 months. Of the recruited children, 23 (11.0%) developed cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Intraoperative hypotension [ARR = 2.7; 95% CI 1.37-5.26; Conclusion: This study's findings highlighted the prevalence and severity of cardiac surgery associated with acute kidney injury in pediatric patients. The identified risk factors, such as intraoperative hypotension, platelet transfusion, and prolonged mechanical ventilation, provide crucial insights for improving patient outcomes. The study's results also emphasize the need for interventions targeting these modifiable factors to reduce mortality among children undergoing cardiac surgery.
