The Correlation Between the Types of Initial Bacterial Infection and Clinical Prognosis in Patients With Septic AKI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of sepsis and is an independent risk factor for mortality. It is unclear whether different bacteria play different roles in the occurrence and development of sepsis-associated AKI (S-AKI). We observed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients that have types of bacterial infection, and different infections sites before the occurrence of AKI, respectively.

Methods

Data of patients who were diagnosed with sepsis and later developed AKI from 2008 to 2019 were retrieved from the MIMIC-IV 1.0 database. Patients were first divided into the two groups according to the bacterial culture results obtained prior to AKI occurrence: bacterial cultured positive (N = 1,785) and bacterial cultured negative (
