Modification of the Cardiac Renal Angina Index for Predicting Adverse Kidney Events After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery by Katherine F. Melink, Natalja L. Stanski, Emily Gorrell, Jeffrey A. Alten, Kevin A. Pettit, Stuart L. Goldstein, Huaiyu Zang, Nicholas J. Ollberding, Rajit K. Basu, Shina Menon, Megan SooHoo, Katja M. Gist

“…Patients who were cRAI positive were younger, had higher surgical complexity, a higher mortality rate, and longer intensive care unit length of stay. cRAI predicted the composite outcome with an optimism‐corrected area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82, sensitivity of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.73–0.87), specificity of 0.75 (95% CI, 0.70–0.80), and negative predictive value of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.87–0.94). Incorporating urine neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin improved predictive performance, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.84, sensitivity of 0.84 (95% CI, 0.77–0.90), specificity of 0.79 (95% CI, 0.74–0.83), and negative predictive value of 0.93 (95% CI, 0.90–0.96). …”
