Low Intraoperative Cerebral Oxygen Saturation Is Associated with Acute Kidney Injury after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass
By monitoring the brain as the index organ of global oxygen supply–demand balance including major organs, regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) may indicate adequacy of renal perfusion. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perioperative rScO2 and acute kidney injury (AKI) after off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). AKI was diagnosed according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Collected rScO2 variables were baseline, mean, and lowest value during surgery, maximal percentage decrease from baseline, and areas under the threshold below an absolute value of 50% (AUT50) and of 80% of baseline (AUT80%base). Among 580 patients, AKI developed in 143 (24.7%) patients. Patients with AKI had lower baseline, mean, and lowest rScO2 and higher AUT50 and AUT80%base than those without AKI despite routine efforts to restore the rScO2 values within 20% of the baseline. Among the rScO2 variables, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of mean rScO2 was the highest (0.636), which was used for the multivariable logistic regression. Multivariable logistic regression revealed mean rScO2 as an independent predictor of AKI (odds ratio, 0.964; 95% confidence interval, 0.937–0.990; p = 0.008), along with chronic kidney disease and emergency surgery. Low intraoperative mean rScO2 was independently associated with AKI after OPCAB, which may serve as an early marker of renal injury.

Influence of Preoperative Handgrip Strength on Length of Stay after Lumbar Fusion Surgery
Preoperative sarcopenic status can affect length of hospital stay and patient outcomes after surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of preoperative handgrip strength (HGS) on length of stay (LOS) and outcomes after lumbar fusion surgery. HGS was measured preoperatively, and the cut-off value for low HGS was p = 0.013) and a higher incidence of serious postoperative complications (15.1 vs. 3.6%, p = 0.002) were observed in the low HGS group. In the multivariate analysis, a low HGS (odds ratio (OR) = 1.917, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.046–3.513, p = 0.035) was significantly associated with a longer LOS after surgery. Preoperative HGS below the reference values by sex appeared to be an independent factor associated with longer LOS after lumbar fusion surgery.
