| DESCRIPTION |
VASQIP Definition (2011):
TIP: If the patient refuses dialysis, report as an occurrence because
he/she did require dialysis.
Indicate if the patient developed new renal failure requiring renal
replacement therapy or experienced an exacerbation of preoperative
renal failure requiring initiation of renal replacement therapy (not on
renal replacement therapy preoperatively) within 30 days
postoperatively. Renal replacement therapy is defined as venous to
venous hemodialysis [CVVHD], continuous venous to arterial hemodialysis
[CVAHD], peritoneal dialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration or
ultrafiltration.
