Large cohort investigation of the morbidity and related risk factors for ARF in very young and low-body-weight children in China is still absent. Methods Data of 518 infants after cardiac surgery were analyzed retrospectively. The correlation between multivariate risk factors and ARF after cardiac surgery was analyzed by logistic regression. Results The incidence of postoperative ARF within 30 days was 6.9% （n = 36）. High RACHS-1 Score, long duration of CPB, rethoracotomy exploration and postoperative low cardiac output were independent risk factors of ARF. There were statistical significances in intensive care unit staying [（21.73 ± 7.28） days vs （7.41 ± 3.76） days], P 0. 001] and mortality （27.8% vs 7.5%, P 0. 001） between the patients with or without ARF. Conclusions Acute renal failure is a key negative factor for the survivors after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease in very young patients with low body weight. High RACHS-1 Score, long duration of CPB, rethoracotomy exploration and postoperative low cardiac output are independent risk factors for development of ARF.展开更多
