Hospitalized patients received furosemide undergoing acute kidney injury: the risk and prediction tool

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Furosemide, a frequently prescribed diuretic for managing congestive heart failure and edema, remains a topic of debate regarding its potential risk of inducing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients. Consequently, this study aims to examine the occurrence of hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI) in hospitalized patients who are administered furosemide and to investigate potential risk factors associated with this outcome.

Methods

This study encompassed a cohort of 22374 hospitalized patients who either received furosemide treatment or not from June 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017. Propensity score matching was employed to establish comparability between the two groups regarding covariates. Subsequently, a nomogram was constructed to predict the probability of AKI occurrenc
