    Abstract Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal-replacement therapy (RRT) after heart transplantation (OHT) is common and impairs outcomes. This study aimed to identify independent donor and recipient risk factors associated with RRT after OHT.
    Design: A retrospective data analysis.
    Setting: Data were collected from clinical routines in a maximum-care university hospital.
    Participants: Patients who underwent OHT.
    Interventions: The authors retrospectively analyzed data from 264 patients who underwent OHT between 2012 and 2021; 189 patients were eligible and included in the final analysis.
    Measurements and main results: The mean age was 48.0 ± 12.3 years, and 71.4% of patients were male. Ninety (47.6%) patients were on long-term mechanical circulatory support (lt-MCS). Posttransplant AKI with RRT occurred in 123 (65.1%) patients. In a multivariate analysis, preoperative body mass index >25 kg/m² (odds ratio [OR] 4.74, p < 0.001), elevated preoperative creatinine levels (OR for each mg/dL increase 3.44, p = 0.004), administration of red blood cell units during transplantation procedure (OR 2.31, p = 0.041) and ischemia time (OR for each hour increase 1.77, p = 0.004) were associated with a higher incidence of RRT. The use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers before transplantation was associated with a reduced risk of RRT (OR 0.36, p = 0.013). The risk of mortality was 6.9-fold higher in patients who required RRT (hazard ratio 6.9, 95% CI: 2.1-22.6 p = 0.001). Previous lt-MCS, as well as donor parameters, were not associated with RRT after OHT.
    Conclusions: The implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy, weight reduction, minimizing ischemia time (ie, organ perfusion systems, workflow optimization), and comprehensive patient blood management potentially influences renal function and outcomes after OHT.

    Abstract Background: Observational data suggest that the subset of patients with heart failure related CS (HF-CS) now predominate critical care admissions for CS. There are no dedicated HF-CS randomised control trials completed to date which reliably inform clinical practice or clinical guidelines. We sought to identify aspects of HF-CS care where both consensus and uncertainty may exist to guide clinical practice and future clinical trial design, with a specific focus on HF-CS due to acute decompensated chronic HF.
    Methods: A 16-person multi-disciplinary panel comprising of international experts was assembled. A modified RAND/University of California, Los Angeles, appropriateness methodology was used. A survey comprising of 34 statements was completed. Participants anonymously rated the appropriateness of each statement on a scale of 1 to 9 (1-3 as inappropriate, 4-6 as uncertain and as 7-9 appropriate).
    Results: Of the 34 statements, 20 were rated as appropriate and 14 were rated as inappropriate. Uncertainty existed across all three domains: the initial assessment and management of HF-CS; escalation to temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support (tMCS); and weaning from tMCS in HF-CS. Significant disagreement between experts (deemed present when the disagreement index exceeded 1) was only identified when deliberating the utility of thoracic ultrasound in the immediate management of HF-CS.
    Conclusion: This study has highlighted several areas of practice where large-scale prospective registries and clinical trials in the HF-CS population are urgently needed to reliably inform clinical practice and the synthesis of future societal HF-CS guidelines.
