Abstract
A prospective national cohort study was undertaken to collect data on all cases of paediatric (<18yrs of age) AKI identified by an e-alert, using the Welsh National electronic AKI reporting system. We describe the utility and limitation of using this creatinine based data set, to characterise paediatric AKI. There were a total of 1,343 incident episodes. 34.5% of episodes occurred in neonates of which 83.8% were AKI stage 1. Neonatal 30-day mortality was 4.1% with 73.3% of this being accounted for by patients treated in ICU. In the non-neonatal group 76.1% was AKI stage 1. Hospital acquired AKI accounted for 40.1% of AKI episodes. Community acquired AKI represented 29.4% of which 33.9% were admitted to hospital. 30.5% of cases were unclassified. Non-neonatal 30-day mortality was 1.2%, with 50.0% of this accounted for by patients treated in ICU. Nonrecovery of renal function at 30-days occurred in 28% and was significantly higher in patients not admitted to hospital (45% vs. 20%). The reported incidence of AKI in children is far greater than previously reported in studies reliant on clinical identification of adult AKI or hospital coding data. Mortality was highest in neonates and driven by those in ICU. Non-recovery of renal function and persistent renal impairment was more common in non-neonates and was especially high in CA-AKI not hospitalised.
