Epidemiological risk factors for acute kidney injury outcomes in hospitalized adult patients: a multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple studies have identified risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients, but less is known about factors associated with AKI severity, including non-recovery of AKI.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of adults (≥18 years) hospitalized between 2014 and 2017 at three US academic medical centers. Study outcomes included incidence of AKI and non-recovery from AKI at hospital discharge in those who survived hospitalization. AKI was defined by KDIGO serum creatinine criteria. Non-AKI recovery was defined as persistent AKI stage ≥1 at time of discharge. Multivariable models assessed the association of risk factors for each outcome, focusing on race, diabetes, and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 versus <30 kg/m²), and adjusting for potential con
