Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes Associated With Recurrent Neonatal Acute Kidney Injury in the AWAKEN Study.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The incidence and associated outcomes of recurrent acute kidney injury (rAKI) in neonates remain largely unknown.

Objective

To determine the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes associated with rAKI in critically ill neonates.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study was a secondary analysis of the multicenter, international Assessment of Worldwide Acute Kidney Injury Epidemiology in Neonates retrospective study. Comparisons were made among neonates with no AKI, a single AKI episode (sAKI), and rAKI. All neonates younger than 14 days who were admitted between January 1 and March 31, 2014, to 24 participating level II to IV neonatal intensive care units and received intravenous fluids for at least 48 hours were considered for inclusion.
