About

Explorative study to investigate potential predictors of myocardial injury, acute kidney injury and pulmonary disorder after acute high-risk abdominal surgery.

Full description

The main issues are:

• To investigate if coronary calcification predisposes the development of myocardial injury and causes an increased mortality rate.
• To evaluate the predictive value of NT-pro-BNP in relation to the development of MINS and the mortality rate.
• To evaluate the predictive value of different biomarkers of AKI in relation to which patients develop AKI.
• To examine the proteins, exosomes and single cell RNA during acute kidney injury in order to describe the molecular processes in the kidney during AKI.
• To examine whether a chest CT scan without contrast enhancement will change treatment decisions in the acute gastrointestinal patient compared with a chest x-ray.

Enrollment: 600 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Adults (≥18 years).
• Patients included in the AHA regimen undergoing CT on suspicion acute high-risk abdominal disorder e.g.g bowel obstruction GI perforation or ischemia, and need of emergency abdominal surgery, either laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy.
• Able to speak Danish. In case Danish was not spoken an interpreter was used to obtain the informed consent.
• Able to give informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who cannot give informed consent to participate in the study 15 minutes after receiving verbal information regarding the study.
• Known chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis at the time of admission (only exclusion criteria for the part of the study relating to AKI).
• Patients included in the AHA regimen, but conservative treatment is chosen (only exclusion criteria for the part of the study relating to MINS and AKI).
• Patients not resident in Denmark.
• Patients not able to give informed consent.
• Patient not able to speak Danish and not enough time to obtain an interpreter.
