Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration yields better renal outcomes than intermittent hemodialysis among traumatic intracranial hemorrhage patients with acute kidney injury: A nationwide population-based retrospective study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Object

Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (TICH) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) were reported to have a high mortality rate. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is indicated for patients with a severe kidney injury. This study aimed to compare the effects of different RRT modalities regarding chronic dialysis rate among adult TICH patients with AKI.

Methods

A retrospective search of computerized hospital records from 2000 to 2010 for patients with a discharge diagnosis of TICH was conducted to identify the index cases. We collected the data of TICH patients with increased intracranial pressure combined with severe AKI who received intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) or continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) as RRT. The outcome was dialysis dependence between 2000 and 2
