Use of the Capture-Recapture Method to Estimate the Frequency of Community- and Hospital-Acquired Drug-Induced Acute Kidney Injuries in French Databases.

ABSTRACT: Drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) can occur both in primary care (i.e., community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI)) and in hospital settings (i.e., hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI)). The reported prevalence of these events varies markedly from one study to another, mainly due to differences in the study design. To estimate the frequency of drug-induced AKIs (both CA-AKIs and HA-AKIs) observed in a French university hospital, we applied the capture-recapture method to 1) the French national pharmacovigilance database (FPVD) and 2) a cohort of hospitalized patients with drug-induced AKIs (documented by analyzing the French national hospital discharge database and the patients' electronic medical records). Drug-induced AKIs were determined according to the Naranjo algorithm and then categorized as CA
