Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury in the United States: Clinical Outcomes and Health Care Utilization.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Acute kidney injury (AKI) during pregnancy is a public health problem and is associated with maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Clinical outcomes and health care utilization in pregnancy-related AKI, especially in women with diabetes, are not well studied. METHODS:Using data from the 2006 to 2015 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we identified 42,190,790 pregnancy-related hospitalizations in women aged 15-49 years. We determined factors associated with AKI, including race/ethnicity, and associations between AKI and inpatient mortality, and between AKI and cardiovascular (CV) events, during pregnancy-related hospitalizations. We calculated health care expenditures from pregnancy-related AKI hospitalizations. RESULTS:Overall, the rate of AKI during pregnancy-related hospitalizations was 0.08%. In the adjusted regression analysis, a higher likelihood of AKI during pregnancy-related hospitalizations was seen in 2015 (OR 2.20; 95% CI 1.89-2.55) than in 2006; in older women aged 36-40 years (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.36-1.64) and 41-49 years (OR 2.12; 95% CI 1.84-2.45) than in women aged 20-25 years; in blacks (OR 1.52; 95% CI 1.40-1.65) and Native Americans (OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.10-1.91) than in whites, and in diabetic women (OR 4.43; 95% CI 4.04-4.86) than in those without diabetes. Pregnancy-related hospitalizations with AKI were associated with a higher likelihood of inpatient mortality (OR 13.50; 95% CI 10.47-17.42) and CV events (OR 9.74; 95% CI 9.08-10.46) than were hospitalizations with no AKI. The median cost was higher for a delivery hospitalization with AKI than without AKI (USD 18,072 vs. 4,447). CONCLUSION:The rates of pregnancy-related AKI hospitalizations have increased during the last decade. Factors associated with a higher likelihood of AKI during pregnancy included older age, black and Native American race/ethnicity, and diabetes. Hospitalizations with pregnancy-related AKI have an increased risk of inpatient mortality and CV events, and a higher health care utilization than do those without AKI.

Project description:IntroductionDespite a decline in developed countries, pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PRAKI) remains a significant contributor to maternal mortality and adverse fetal outcomes in resource-constrained settings. Little is known about the impact of pregnancy-related acute kidney injury in Nigeria. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the incidence and maternal-fetal outcomes associated with pregnancy-related acute kidney injury among a cohort of high-risk women in Nigeria.MethodsThis prospective multicenter study included women at high risk of acute kidney injury, who were more than 20 weeks pregnant or within 6 weeks postpartum and admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology units of two large public hospitals between September 1, 2019, and July 31, 2022. Acute kidney injury was defined and classified using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.ResultsA total of 433 women, with mean age (± standard deviation) of 28 ± 6 years, were included in the evaluation. Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury occurred in 113 women (26.1%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 21.1%-30.2%). The leading cause was preeclampsia (n = 57; 50.1%); 19 women died (4.4%), with 17 deaths (15%) occurring in the PRAKI group. Increasing severity of pregnancy-related acute kidney injury was independently associated with maternal mortality: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for KDIGO stage 2 = 4.40; 95% CI 0.66-29.34, p = 0.13, and KDIGO stage 3 aOR = 6.12; 95% CI 1.09-34.34, p = 0.04. The overall perinatal mortality was 15% (n = 65), with 28 deaths (24.8%) occurring in the PRAKI group. Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury was also associated with an increased risk of perinatal mortality, aOR = 2.23; 95 CI 1.17-4.23, p = 0.02.ConclusionsThe incidence of pregnancy-related acute kidney injury was high, and significantly associated with maternal and perinatal mortality. The leading causes were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
