In an effort to deal with more complicated evaluation situations, scientists have focused their efforts on dynamic comprehensive evaluation research. How to make full use of the subjective and objective information has become one of the noteworthy content. In this paper, a dynamic comprehensive evaluation method with subjective and objective information is proposed. We use the combination weighting method to determine the index weight. Analysis hierarchy process method is applied to dispose the subjective information, and criteria importance through intercriteria correlation method is used to handle the objective information. And for the time weight determination, we consider both time distance and information size to embody the principle of esteeming the present over the past. And then the linear weighted average model is constructed to make the evaluation process more practicable. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this method. Overall, the results suggest that the proposed method is reasonable and effective.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) are common after heart transplantation (HT). The need for RRT has been reported to be one of the most important predictors of a poor prognosis after HT. Therefore, it is important to early identify risk factors of RRT after HT. However, in the heart transplantation setting, the risk factors are less well studied, and some of the conclusions are controversial. This study aimed to identify the clinical predictors of RRT after HT.Methods: This single-center, retrospective study from January 2010 to June 2021 analyzed risk factors (pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics) of 163 patients who underwent HT. The endpoint of the study was RRT within 7 days of HT. Risk factors were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models.Results: Fifty-five (33.74%) recipients required RRT within 7 days of HT. Factors independently associated with RRT after HT were as follows: a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 [odds ratio (
