Detection of pediatric drug-induced kidney injury signals using a hospital electronic medical record database.

ABSTRACT: Background: Drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) is one of the most common complications in clinical practice. Detection signals through post-marketing approaches are of great value in preventing DIKI in pediatric patients. This study aimed to propose a quantitative algorithm to detect DIKI signals in children using an electronic health record (EHR) database. Methods: In this study, 12 years of medical data collected from a constructed data warehouse were analyzed, which contained 575,965 records of inpatients from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2020. Eligible participants included inpatients aged 28 days to 18 years old. A two-stage procedure was adopted to detect DIKI signals: 1) stage 1: the suspected drugs potentially associated with DIKI were screened by calculating the crud
