Metric 39 PCI In-hospital Risk-Adjusted Acute Kidney Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, John Giroud discusses the importance of acute kidney injury (AKI) prediction and prevention in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). He explains that AKI is a common and serious complication that is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Metric 39, from the CAF PCI registry, provides risk-adjusted feedback on AKI and helps guide clinical decision-making to improve the safety of PCI procedures. The e-reports dashboard is a helpful tool for analyzing individual hospital performance and identifying quality improvement opportunities. When reviewing facility performance, it is important to assess data submission, benchmark inclusion status, and patient-level details. Self-audit and education are encouraged to ensure accurate data capture.
