Key performance indicators for acute intermittent kidney replacement therapy in critically ill patients: a protocol for a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There have been previous initiatives to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) for continuous kidney replacement therapy. However, no formal reviews of the evidence for KPIs of intermittent kidney replacement therapy (IKRT) have been conducted. This systematic review will appraise the evidence for KPIs of IKRT in critically ill patients and is part of the DIALYZING WISELY (NCT05186636) programme which aims to improve the performance of acute renal replacement therapy in intensive care units by aligning local practices with evidence-based best practices.

Methods and analysis

Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library will be searched for studies involving KPIs for IKRT. Grey literature will also be searched and include technical reports, practice
