Abstract in brief

Intravenous contrast material exposure does not independently increase the risk of requiring dialysis or short-term death based on this study.
The study compared patients who had contrast-enhanced scans with those who didn’t, using statistical methods to match similar patients and reduce bias, and found no significant difference in kidney injury, dialysis, or mortality rates.
Even among high-risk groups like patients with diabetes or kidney issues, contrast exposure was not linked to increased risks of kidney injury, dialysis, or death within 30 days after the scan.
