Prevalent and new use of common drugs for the incidence of community-acquired acute kidney injury: cohort and case-crossover study.

ABSTRACT: Although community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) represents a significant subset of all AKI incidence, evidence is limited due to the lack of comprehensive data prior to diagnosis. Here, we examined the risk of drug use for CA-AKI by using exhaustive pre-diagnostic prescription data. We included 78,754 working-age healthy individuals who underwent an annual health checkup program. We conducted a cohort study to assess the association between prevalent drug use and subsequent CA-AKI incidence using the Cox proportional hazard model. Subsequently, we conducted a case-crossover study to compare the new drug use in the case period directly before the CA-AKI incidence (- 3 to 0 months) with that in the control period far before the CA-AKI incidence (- 15 to - 12 months and - 9 to - 6 months) using the conditional Poisson regression model. The prevalent use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors was associated with an increased CA-AKI incidence, but the new use was not. The new use of diuretics, anti-infectious drugs, and contrast medium was also associated with an increased CA-AKI incidence. These results suggest we need to pay attention for the incidence of AKI among the general population taking those common drugs.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI), particularly community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI), is a major health concern globally. The International Society of Nephrology's "0 by 25" initiative to reduce preventable deaths from AKI to zero by 2025 is not achievable in low and middle income countries, such as India, possibly due to a lack of data and measures to tackle this urgent public health issue. In India, CA-AKI predisposes younger patients to hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. This is the first multicenter, prospective, cohort study investigating CA-AKI and its consequences in India.MethodsThis study included data from patients with CA-AKI (>12 years of age) housed in the Indian Society of Nephrology-AKI registry, involving 9 participating tertiary care centers in India, for the period between November 2016 and October 2019. The etiological spectrum and renal and patient outcomes of CA-AKI at the index visit and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups were analyzed. The impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on outcomes was also analyzed.FindingsData from 3711 patients (mean [±SD] age 44.7 ± 16.5 years; 66.6% male) were analyzed. The most common comorbidities included hypertension (21.1%) and diabetes (19.1%). AKI occurred in medical, surgical, and obstetrical settings in 86.7%, 7.3%, and 6%, respectively. The most common causes of AKI were associated with sepsis (34.7%) and tropical fever (9.8%). Mortality at the index admission was 10.8%. Complete recovery (CR), partial recovery (PR), and dialysis dependency among survivors at the time of discharge were 22.1%, 57.7%, and 9.4%, respectively. Overall, at 3 months of follow-up, mortality rate, CR, PR, and dialysis dependency rates were 11.4%, 72.2%, 7.2%, and 1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that age >65 years, alcoholism, anuria, hypotension at presentation, thrombocytopenia, vasopressor use, transaminitis, and low SES were associated with mortality at the index admission.InterpretationSepsis and tropical fever were the most common causes of CA-AKI. Presentation of CA-AKI to tertiary care units was associated with high mortality, and a significant number of patients progressed to CKD. Individuals with a low SES had increased risk of mortality and require immediate attention and intervention.FundingThis study was funded by the Indian Society of Nephrology.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveCommunity-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) develops outside of the hospital and is the most common form of AKI globally. National estimates of CA-AKI in the United States are absent due to limited availability of laboratory data. This study leverages national data from the Veterans Health Administration (VA) to estimate incidence and risk factors of CA-AKI.Study designRetrospective cohort study using national VA administrative and laboratory data to assess cumulative CA-AKI incidence.Setting & participantsVA primary care patients in 2013-2017 with recorded outpatient serum creatinine (Scr) and no history of chronic kidney disease≥stage 5.PredictorSociodemographics, comorbidities, medication use, and health care utilization.OutcomeAnnual incidence of CA-AKI defined as a≥1.5-fold relative increase in Scr on either a subsequent outpatient Scr or inpatient Scr obtained within ≤24 hours of admission.Analytical approachWe calculated the relative change in Scr within 12 months of an outpatient Scr value. A Cox model was used to estimate the association between CA-AKI and baseline characteristics, accounting for repeated measurements.ResultsOf approximately 2.5 million eligible veterans each year, the cumulative incidence of CA-AKI was approximately 2% annually. Only 27% of CA-AKI was detected at hospital admission. In adjusted analyses, high health care utilization, chronic illness, cancer, rural location, female sex, and use of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors or diuretics were associated with increased CA-AKI risk (all, HR>1.20).LimitationsLimited generalizability of results outside a veteran population, lack of a standardized definition for CA-AKI, and possibility of surveillance bias and misclassification.ConclusionsCA-AKI affects 1 of every 50 US veterans annually. With less than a third of CA-AKI observed in the inpatient hospital setting, reliance on inpatient evaluation of AKI suggests significant underrecognition and missed opportunities to prevent and manage the long-term consequences of AKI.
