Frequency of Acute Kidney Injury and Association With Mortality Among Extremely Preterm Infants.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and associated with morbidity and mortality. The temporal relationship between AKI and critical illness, as well as the frequency of AKI definition components (urine output and serum creatinine [sCr] concentration change), are unknown in extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) (<1000 g), extremely preterm (<29 weeks' completed gestational age [GA]) infants.

Objective

To measure the frequency of AKI from birth to death or discharge with attention to the definition components as well as the temporal relationship of AKI to critical illness and death.

Design, setting, and participants

A single-center, multiyear, retrospective cohort study was conducted at an academic level IV neonatal intensive care unit between January 1,
