The Prognostic Value of Serum Creatinine Dynamics in Neonates-A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in neonates with increased mortality and longer hospitalization. Few studies have evaluated AKI outcomes in relation to serum creatinine dynamics in neonates from the first day of life. Methods: We performed an observational, retrospective, single-center study on newborns admitted to the "Louis Turcanu" Emergency County Hospital for Children between 2014 and 2022. The cohort comprised 1106 neonates with their serum creatinine values recorded on the first day of life and at least another measurement taken at between days 2 and 7. We evaluated the outcomes of serum creatinine trends in relation to mortality, hospitalization and progression to chronic kidney disease. Results: Overall, 23.4% (259) of babies had an ascending t
