Secular Trends in Incidence, Modality and Mortality with Dialysis Receiving AKI in Children in Ontario: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

There is a limited appreciation of the epidemiology of dialysis-receiving AKI in children. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate changes in the incidence of dialysis-receiving AKI among children over a period of 20 years in Ontario, Canada.
