Clinical features, risk factors, and clinical burden of acute kidney injury in older adults.

ABSTRACT: Background: Few epidemiologic studies on acute kidney injury (AKI) have focused on the older adult population. This study investigated the clinical features, risk factors, and clinical burden in this population. Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed with the clinical data of inpatients at Guangdong Geriatrics Institute from 1 August 2012, to 31 December 2016. AKI was classified into community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI) and hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI), and the risk factors for AKI were ranked by weight. The relationships between AKI and adverse outcomes during hospitalization were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: In total, 6126 patients were enrolled, and 1704 patients developed AKI (27.8%):
