ABSTRACT: Background
To examine the relationship between delta mean arterial pressure (ΔMAP; MAP change between pre-admission minus post-resuscitation) and acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients with septic shock. In this retrospective, single-center cohort study of adult patients pre-admission MAP is defined as the median MAP recorded from 365 to 7 days before admission. Post-resuscitation MAP was median MAP during the 7th hour after initiating resuscitation.Results
In our cohort (N = 233; 55% male), the median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 71 (58-81) years and the median (IQR) acute physiology, age, chronic health evaluation (APACHE) III score was 81 (66-97). Although those in the lowest ΔMAP quartile (-24.5 to 3.9 mmHg) had no demographic differences compared with the rest
