Risk of Acute Kidney Injury Following Contrast-enhanced CT in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients: A Propensity Score Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a concern in hospitalized children undergoing CT with intravenous iodinated contrast material (ICM). Adult studies have shown frequencies of AKI after CT with intravenous ICM to be similar to propensity score-matched ICM-unexposed patient groups; similar data in pediatric patients are lacking. Purpose To evaluate the association between intravenous ICM exposure and AKI in hospitalized pediatric patients with stable kidney function undergoing contrast material-enhanced CT by comparing with a propensity score-matched ICM-unexposed patient sample undergoing abdominal US. Materials and Methods In this retrospective observational study, hospitalized patients aged 18 years or younger with stable kidney function and available serum creatinine (SCr) mea
