Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication in medical and surgical intensive care units accounting for a high morbidity and mortality. Incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact of this deleterious condition are well established in this setting. Data concerning the neurocritically ill patients is scarce. Therefore, aim of this study was to determine the incidence of AKI and elucidate risk factors in this special population. Methods: Patients admitted to a specialized neurocritical care unit between 2005 and 2011 with a length of stay above 48 hours were analyzed retrospectively for incidence, cause, and outcome of AKI (AKI Network-stage ≥2). Results: The study population comprised 681 neurocritically ill patients from a mixed neurosurgical and neurological intensive care unit. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 8.4% (57/681). Overall incidence of AKI was 11.6% with 36 (45.6%) patients developing dialysis-requiring AKI. Sepsis was the main cause of AKI in nearly 50% of patients. Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy are independent predictors of worse outcome (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.704; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.867-7.350; P < .001; and HR: 2.848; CI: 1.301-6.325; P = .009). Chronic kidney disease was the strongest independent risk factor (odds ratio: 12.473; CI: 5.944-26.172; P < .001), whereas surgical intervention or contrast agents were not associated with AKI. Conclusions: Acute kidney injury in neurocritical care has a high incidence and is a crucial risk factor for mortality independently of the underlying neurocritical condition. Sepsis is the main cause of AKI in this setting. Therefore, careful prevention of infectious complications and considering CKD in treatment decisions may lower the incidence of AKI and hereby improve outcome in neurocritical care.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant problem in neonates, but the evidence is sparse. Neonatal AKI is an independent risk factor for increased mortality and prolonged hospital stay. There are stark differences in the epidemiology of AKI in neonates amongst the developing and the developed world. Increased prevalence of neonatal sepsis, lack of awareness about neonatal AKI and poor access to pediatric nephrologists add to the improper management of neonatal AKI in the developing countries.Methods: This study is a multicentric, national, prospective cohort study [The Indian iconic Neonatal Kidney Educational Registry (TINKER)] conducted in level 2–3 NICUs in 11 centers across India. We have enrolled nearly 2,000 neonates over the study period. Neonates (≤ 28 days) who were admitted in NICU and those who received intravenous (IV) fluids for at least 48 h for hydration and/or nutrition have been included. Data collection included: (1) baseline demographics (2) daily physiologic and laboratory parameters (3) discharge data. KDIGO workgroup AKI definition modified for neonates was used for defining AKI. Data entry was carried out by individual participating centers using a web-based database (akiregistry.org). De-identified data has been maintained and handled by the principal investigator (PI). This collaboration plans to disseminate data through peer-reviewed publications and through presentations at educational conferences.Conclusions: The purpose of this study is to create the first prospective neonatal all-cause AKI data repository and describe the incidence of neonatal AKI in NICUs in the country and determine the risk factors as well as the outcomes of such neonates—both short-term and long-term outcomes. This will eventually spur therapeutic advancements, facilitate decipherment of epidemiological trends, risk factors as well as outcomes and identify disparities in management across the nation.
