Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pregnancy-related AKI (PR-AKI) is increasing in the United States. PR-AKI is associated with adverse maternal outcomes. Disparities in racial/ethnic differences in PR-AKI by race have not been studied.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2005 to 2015. We identified patients who were admitted for a pregnancy-related diagnosis using the Neomat variable provided by the NIS database that indicates the presence of a maternal or neonatal diagnosis code or procedure code. PR-AKI was identified using ICD codes. Survey logistic regression was used for multivariable analysis adjusting for age, medical comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and hospital/admission factors.

Results

From 48,316,430 maternal hospital
