Changing trends in dialysis modalities utilization and mortality in children, adolescents and young adults with acute kidney injury, 2010-2017.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to assess trends in the relative use of dialysis modalities in the hospital-based pediatric cohort and to determine risk factors associated with in-hospital morality among pediatric patients receiving dialysis for acute kidney injury (AKI). Patients aged < 20 years who received dialysis between 2010 and 2017 were identified from electronic health records databases of a Taiwan's healthcare delivery system. The annual uses of intermittent hemodialysis (HD), continuous and automated peritoneal dialysis (PD) and continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) were assessed using Cochran-Armitage Tests for trend. Among patients who received their first dialysis as inpatients for AKI, a multivariate logistic regression model was employed to assess mortality risks associated
