A comparison of three methods to estimate baseline creatinine for RIFLE classification

Abstract: Estimates of incidence of AKI in the critically ill using RIFLE classification can be affected by the bias and limited accuracy of methods to estimate baseline creatinine. Whenever possible, recorded creatinine values should be used as a reference of baseline. The use of the MDRD equation to estimate baseline creatinine when it is unknown may over- or underestimate some mild (Risk) AKI cases but is unlikely to misclassify patients in Injury and Failure.

“…In this study, and in accordance with current guidelines, baseline creatinine was back calculated from the MDRD assuming a 75 ml/kg per 1.73 m 2 GFR (35,47). Although this imputation was validated in previous works (48), it may overestimate the incidence of AKI by nearly 10% and may misclassify severity of AKI in up to 30% (49). Finally, the observational study design only allows us to conclude that ARDS was independently associated with AKI.…”

“…Knowing the strengths and limitations of each approach is key to interpreting future study findings. For example, the accuracy of estimating a creatinine value using back-calculation from an eGFR of 75 ml/min/1.73 m 2 has been previously studied 44 . This approach is likely the most sensitive for detecting AKI among patients with no premorbid serum creatinine value and is anticipated to work well in populations with largely preserved kidney function.…”

“…Baseline, admission, and reference serum creatinine were determined as previously described (8,9). We defined baseline creatinine as the lowest value of (1) the most recent prehospital creatinine value up to 1 year before the index hospital admission and (2) creatinine recorded in the first 24 hours of hospital admission.…”
