Sociodemographic Disparities in 1-Year Outcomes of Children With Community-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Racial disparities have been identified in pediatric community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), and they are associated with increased risk of child mortality, morbidity, and progression of kidney disease.

Objective

To assess clinical outcomes at 1 year among children with CA-AKI, stratified by age, race, and ethnicity.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study is a population-based analysis of deidentified, aggregated electronic health record data collected by 61 large health care organizations from 2003 to 2023 and accessed through the TriNetX platform. Outcomes were assessed at 1 year after a CA-AKI episode. Participants included pediatric patients (aged <18 years) with AKI. Data were accessed in January 2024.
