    Measured: 30 days post operative

  4. Stroke Post Operative

    Measured: 30 days post op

  5. Re-operation

    Measured: 30 days post-operative

What does the primary outcome measure?

Development of Post-operative Acute Kidney Injury (time frame: up to 5 days post cardiac surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00556491, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
