BACKGROUND: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests an association between perioperative acetaminophen administration and decreased incidence of postoperative AKI in pediatric cardiac surgery patients; however, an effect in adults is unknown.

METHODS: All patients (n = 6192) undergoing coronary and/or valve surgery with a recorded Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk score at our institution between 2010 and 2018 were stratified by acetaminophen exposure on the day of surgery using institutional pharmacy records. AKI was determined using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) staging criteria. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between perioperative acetaminophen and postoperative kidney injury or STS major morbidity. A sensitivity analysis using propensity score matching on the STS predicted risk of renal failure and cardiopulmonary bypass time was performed to account for time bias.

RESULTS: Perioperative acetaminophen exposure was associated with lower odds of stage 1 to 3 acute kidney injury (odds ratio [OR], 0.68; 95% CI, 0.56-0.83; P < .001) and decreased prolonged postoperative ventilation (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.37-0.76; P < .001). A sensitivity analysis provided well-balanced (standard mean difference <0.10) groups of 401 pairs, in which acetaminophen was associated with a decreased incidence of postoperative AKI (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.52-0.94; P = .016).

CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to acetaminophen on the day of surgery was associated with a decreased incidence of AKI in our patients undergoing cardiac surgery. These data serve as a measure of effect size to further explore the therapeutic potential of acetaminophen to reduce postoperative AKI after cardiac surgery and to elucidate the mechanisms involved.
