Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG): Postoperative Renal Failure

Impact Summary: This measure supports the Merit‑based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) by assessing the occurrence of postoperative renal failure or dialysis among patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery, an outcome associated with serious postoperative complications and patient safety. 

Due to low reporting on this measure, no benchmark data are currently available in the publicly reported MIPS Quality Benchmarks files reviewed for this assessment. As a result, Battelle cannot evaluate performance trends and the potential impact of improvement on patient outcomes at this time. The absence of benchmark data limits the ability to assess the importance or impact of this measure within MIPS. This measure is in the Surgical MIPS Value Pathway (MVP), which should encourage greater adoption and reporting in the future.

For this measure, Battelle reviewed the following publicly available datasets at Benchmarks - QPP:

• 2026 MIPS Quality Benchmarks.csv 
• 2025 MIPS Quality Benchmarks.csv 
• 2024 MIPS Quality Benchmarks.csv 

• 2023 MIPS Quality Benchmarks.csv 

   

There are no benchmark values for “Measure_ID”=167 in these files, and therefore no data are available to assess this measure. For these years, there has been an insufficient volume of data submitted to establish a performance period benchmark.
