Acute Kidney Injury in the Outpatient Setting: Developing and Validating a Risk Prediction Model.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in the hospital have been well studied. Yet, risk factors for identifying high-risk patients for AKI occurring and managed in the outpatient setting are unknown and may differ.

Study design

Predictive model development and external validation using observational electronic health record data.

Setting & participants

Patients aged 18-90 years with recurrent primary care encounters, known baseline serum creatinine, and creatinine measured during an 18-month outcome period without established advanced kidney disease.

New predictors & established predictors

Established predictors for inpatient AKI were considered. Potential new predictors were hospitalization history, smoking, serum potassium levels, a
