SACrA score to predict the initiation of renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent complication in critically ill patients that affects the timing of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation. This study aimed to develop and validate the SACrA score for predicting non-emergent initiations (BUN ≥112 mg/dL or oliguria for >72 h) of RRT in critically ill patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from two cohorts. The derivation cohort included patients admitted to the ICU between November 2021 and December 2023, whereas the validation cohort included patients admitted between September 2019 and October 2021. The primary outcome was non-emergent RRT initiation. The multivariate logistic regression with stepwise selection based on the Akaike information criterion finalized the mod
