Effect of electronic alerts on the care and outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury: a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although electronic alerts are being increasingly implemented in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), their effect remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis aiming at investigating their impact on the care and outcomes of AKI patients.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trial Registries databases were systematically searched for relevant studies from inception to March 2024. Randomized controlled trials comparing electronic alerts with usual care in patients with AKI were selected.

Results

Six studies including 40,146 patients met the inclusion criteria. The pooled results showed that electronic alerts did not improve mortality rates (relative risk (RR) = 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.97-1.08, P = 0.44) or
