Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcome of Acute Kidney Injury in the Intensive Care Unit: A Single-Center Study from Jordan

Abstract: Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common serious problem affecting critically ill patients in intensive care unit (ICU). It increases their morbidity, mortality, length of ICU stay, and long-term risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods. A retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Jordan. Medical records of patients admitted to the medical ICU between 2013 and 2015 were reviewed. We aimed to identify the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI. Acute kidney injury network… Show more

“…In accordance with previous published studies, LOS is higher in patients receiving RRT [20,21,25], but reports about length of ICU stay in relation to the main organ dysfunction at admission are extremely limited. We noted that multiple trauma and surgical patients, or patients with renal and gastrointestinal dysfunction that needed RRT, had a greater risk of increased ICU stay compared with those without this intervention.…”

“…The overall RRT need during ICU stay was 13.9% in our study. Others reported an incidence of 8.3%, Paccinni et al [18], 8.8%, Fujii et al [19], 12%, Harris et al [20], and 20.4% was found by Oweis et al [21]. The differences most likely result from the profile of each intensive therapy, the presented one being a general ICU unit.…”

“…Association of AKI with mortality, morbidity, CKD, and prolonged hospitalization especially in critically ill patients and patients admitted to ICU is well documented in the literature, which reflects the worldwide importance of early detection and prevention with the aim of decreasing death and morbidity. [17][18][19][20][21] A systemic review done by Almashrafi et al 22 shows association of increased age, atrial fibrillation and renal dysfunction with prolonged ICU LOS.A similar study done by Atoui R 23 on 426 patients shows significant associations of ejection fraction <40% (p=0.04), and history of renal failure (p=0.001).Whereas, a locally conducted study in our region showed some benefit of tight glycemic control(in pre and post CABG patients) on the length of ICU stay. 24 The percentage of patients with prolonged ICU stay in on pump surgeries (66.7%) was found to be much higher than in off pump surgeries (28.1%).…”

“…In the Jordanian population, it reached up to 31.6%. 6 Factors that affect the outcome of these patients with AKI in ICU settings include volume overload, sepsis, and the need for RRT. All of which can increase the hospital stay, the recurrence of AKI, the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the rate of in-hospital mortality.…”

“…AKI can be classified through different criteria, 4,5 and the incidence can be as low as 2% to as high as 92% in hospitalized patients. 6 Identifying risk factors and patients at risk for AKI related to MDR infection will help treating physicians develop preventive and treatment protocols for AKI and may lower mortality in those patients. Therefore, in the present study, the risk for Multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections and its effect on the incidence of AKI, hospitalization, need for dialysis, and mortality was evaluated.…”
