Development of New Equations Predicting the Mortality Risk of Patients on Continuous RRT.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Predicting the risk of death in patients admitted to the critical care unit facilitates appropriate management. In particular, among patients who are critically ill, patients with continuous RRT (CRRT) have high mortality, and predicting the mortality risk of these patients is difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop models for predicting the mortality risk of patients on CRRT and to validate the models externally.

Methods

A total of 699 adult patients with CRRT who participated in the VolumE maNagement Under body composition monitoring in critically ill patientS on CRRT (VENUS) trial and 1515 adult patients with CRRT in Seoul National University Hospital were selected as the development and validation cohorts, respectively. Using 11 predictor variables
