Epidemiology and Outcome of Early-Onset Acute Kidney Injury and Recovery in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical significance of early-onset acute kidney injury (EO-AKI) and recovery in severe COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) patients is poorly documented.

Objective

The aim of the study was to assess the epidemiology and outcome of EO-AKI and recovery in ICU patients admitted for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

Design

This was a retrospective single-centre study.

Setting

The study was carried out at the medical ICU of the university hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, France.

Patients

All consecutive adult patients aged ≥18 years admitted between 20 March 2020 and 31 August 2021 for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia were enrolled. Patients with chronic kidney disease, referred from another ICU, and with an ICU length of stay (LOS) ≤72 h were excluded.
