Neurodevelopment After Neonatal Acute Kidney Injury in Very Preterm-Birth Children.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to assess head circumference (HC) growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm-birth children after neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI).

Methods

This longitudinal follow-up cohort included 732 very preterm neonates of gestational age <31 weeks admitted to a tertiary center between 2008 and 2020. AKI was categorized as nonoliguric and oliguric AKI based on the urine output criteria during admission. We compared the differences in death, z scores of HC (zHC) at term-equivalent age (TEA) and at corrected ages of 6, 12, and 24 months, and the neurodevelopmental outcomes at corrected age of 24 months after neonatal nonoliguric and oliguric AKI.

Results

Among the 154 neonates who developed AKI, 72 had oliguric AKI and 82 had non
