Attention to early stages: predicting acute kidney injury in a post cardiosurgical ICU setting using an inclusive time-to-event model. (PubMed, Comput Biol Med) - "We demonstrated the importance of early-stage AKI predictions and presented a novel approach to achieve this. Under similar assumptions, our results showed improvement and approached outcomes comparable to the literature. While practical validation is pending, we are confident that our approach proves useful in assisting physicians to prevent AKI development."

Accuracy of Diagnostic Coding for Acute Kidney Injury in Japan-Analysis of a Japanese Hospital-Based Database.

Cost-Effectiveness of Team-Based Coaching With Surveillance for Prevention of Acute Kidney Injuries. (PubMed, JAMA Netw Open) - "More than 10% of US patients undergoing endovascular procedures experience contrast-associated acute kidney injuries (AKIs), resulting in increased costs and health deficits...In this economic evaluation of implementation strategies for AKI prevention, virtual learning collaborative with automated surveillance reporting was the economically preferred intervention and was estimated to decrease AKI likelihood, permanent kidney disease, and their associated costs after undergoing cardiac catheterization. These results may be generalizable to other endovascular procedures and practice-changing protocols or checklists implementation efforts."

Drug-induced acute kidney injury: a cohort study on incidence, identification of pathophysiological mechanisms, and prognostic factors. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne)) - "Most nephrotoxic drugs caused type A reactions, with Vancomycin being the primary nephrotoxin. Although the mortality rate is lower among DI-AKIs compared to other AKI etiologies, the need for AKST was similar. Therefore, it is recommended that DI-AKI be recognized early to enable dose reduction or even drug suspension, depending on the type of reaction, to reduce healthcare costs and improve clinical outcomes for patients."

Stent vs Stent-Less Ileal Conduits After Radical Cystectomy: Is There a Difference in Early Postoperative Outcomes?

Our analysis suggests that stents may not be necessary in ileal conduit urinary diversion procedures."

Acute Kidney Injury Duration and 20-Year Risks of CKD and Cardiovascular Disease. (PubMed, Kidney Int Rep) - "AKIs were categorized as rapid reversal AKI (≤48 hours), persistent AKI (2-7 days), and acute kidney disease (AKD) (>7 days)...However, persistent AKI was associated with a slightly increased aHR of heart failure (1.09; 95% CI, 1.02-1.16), and aHRs of heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and peripheral artery disease were slightly increased for AKD (1.09 [95% CI, 1.03-1.15], 1.11 [95% CI, 1.03-1.19], and 1.10 [95% CI, 1.02-1.17], respectively).

Perioperative Intravenous Amino Acid Infusion in Major Urologic Surgery. (PubMed, J Clin Med) - "PO-AKIs were much higher in the crystalloid group compared to the AA group (34 vs. 17, p = 0.022) due to a lower incidence of KDIGO I and II in the AA group (14 vs. 30 p = 0.016)...The hospital length of stay was higher in the crystalloid group (p < 0.05) with a consequent saving in hospital costs. Perioperative AA infusion may help reduce the incidence of PO-AKI after major urological minimally invasive surgery."
