Acute Kidney Injury Incidence, Recovery, and Long-term Kidney Outcomes Among Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 and Influenza.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients with severe COVID-19. We sought to compare the AKI incidence and outcomes among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and with influenza.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized between March and May 2020 and historical controls hospitalized with influenza A or B between January 2017 and December 2019 within a large health care system. Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the risk of AKI during hospitalization. Secondary outcomes included AKI recovery, mortality, new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD), and ≥25% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline.

Results

A total of 2425 patients were included; 1091 (45%) had COVID-19,
