Identifying KDIGO Trajectory Phenotypes Associated with Increased Inpatient Mortality.

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex systemic syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality and risk for the subsequent development of renal and non-renal complications. Nearly 50% of patients in the ICU experience AKI. AKI severity is a key metric for evaluating patients risk of hospital mortality. Current AKI stratification is based on absolute changes in Serum Creatinine (SCr) and the maximal increase relative to the patients baseline value. However, such measurement does not consider either the progression or duration of AKI, both of which are associated with adverse outcomes post-AKI. In this article, by leveraging a large volume of SCr temporal variabilities, we present a novel model called Trajectory of Acute Kidney Injury (TAKI) for the identification of AKI trajectory su
