- Abstract
Although small changes in creatinine level during hospitalization have been associated with risk of short-term mortality, associations with posthospitalization end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and long-term mortality are unknown. We assessed the relationship between change in serum creatinine levels up to 3.0 mg/dL and death and ESRD among elderly survivors of hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction.
