Echocardiographic predictors of acute kidney injury in neonates with a patent ductus arteriosus.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) including incidence, risk factors, and possible correlations between PDA-related echocardiographic measurements and AKI incidence.

Study design

We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with a diagnosis of a PDA between July 2015 and July 2017. Infants were evaluated for development of AKI based on the KDIGO criteria and a multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed.

Results

A total of 142 neonates with moderate or large PDAs were included, 43 (30%) developed AKI. Patients who developed AKI had longer length of stay, lower birth weights, lengths, and gestational ages. No echocardiographi
