Acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) in adults is poorly studied despite being well-recognized as a postoperative complication after cardiac surgery in adults. The primary aim of our study was to determine the frequency of AKI in adults undergoing surgery for CHD. We also aimed to determine risk factors and predictors of AKI in this patient population, and to explore outcomes in terms of duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and hospital stay.
