ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with COVID-19 and its association with mortality and disease severity is understudied in the Canadian population.

Objective

Setting

Three community and 3 academic hospitals.

Patients

A total of 815 patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 between March 4, 2020, and April 23, 2021.

Measurements
