Plasma creatinine (Cr) is a marker of kidney function and typically measured once daily. We hypothesized that Cr measured by point-of-care technology early after ICU admission would be a good predictor of acute kidney injury (AKI) the next day in critically ill patients.
We conducted a retrospective database audit in a single tertiary ICU database. We included patients with normal first admission Cr (Cr ) and identified a Cr value (Cr ) obtained within 6-12 hours from ICU admission. We used their difference converted into percentage (delta-Cr-%) to predict subsequent AKI (based on Cr and/or need for renal replacement therapy) the next day. We assessed predictive value by calculating area under the receiver characteristic curve (AUC), logistic regression models for AKI with and without delta-Cr-%, and the category-free net reclassifying index (cfNRI).
We studied 780 patients. Overall, 70 (9.0%) fulfilled the Cr AKI definition by Cr measurement. On day 2, 148 patients (19.0%) were diagnosed with AKI. AUC (95% CI) for delta-Cr-% to predict AKI on day 2 was 0.82 (95% CI 0.78-0.86), and 0.74 (95% CI 0.69-0.80) when patients with AKI based on the Cr were excluded. Using a cut-off of 17% increment, the positive likelihood ratio (95% CI) for delta-Cr-% to predict AKI was 3.5 (2.9-4.2). The cfNRI was 90.0 (74.9-106.1).
Among patients admitted with normal Cr, early changes in Cr help predict AKI the following day.
血浆肌酐(Cr)是肾功能的标志物,通常每日测量一次。我们假设,入住 ICU 后即刻使用即时检测技术测量的 Cr 能很好地预测次日危重症患者的急性肾损伤(AKI)。
我们对单家三级 ICU 数据库进行了回顾性数据库审核。我们纳入了首次入院时 Cr 正常(Cr )的患者,并确定了在入住 ICU 后 6-12 小时内获得的 Cr 值(Cr )。我们使用 Cr 差值(delta-Cr-%)来预测次日(根据 Cr 和/或需要肾脏替代治疗)的 AKI。我们通过计算受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUC)、AKI 的逻辑回归模型(包括和不包括 delta-Cr-%)以及无分类净重新分类指数(cfNRI)来评估预测价值。
我们研究了 780 名患者。总体而言,有 70 名患者(9.0%)根据 Cr 测量值符合 AKI 的 Cr 定义。第 2 天,148 名患者(19.0%)被诊断为 AKI。delta-Cr-%预测第 2 天 AKI 的 AUC(95%CI)为 0.82(95%CI 0.78-0.86),排除基于 Cr 的 AKI 患者后为 0.74(95%CI 0.69-0.80)。使用 17%增量的截断值,delta-Cr-%预测 AKI 的阳性似然比(95%CI)为 3.5(2.9-4.2)。cfNRI 为 90.0(74.9-106.1)。
在入院时 Cr 正常的患者中,Cr 的早期变化有助于预测次日的 AKI。
