Background
The association between AKI severity and mortality is well described, but current staging criteria have not be optimized for risk assessment or developing prognostic models for specific outcomes
Methods
Confidence limits (CI) for individual patient serum creatinine (sCr) trajectories were developed using an adaptive Bayesian approach. AKI episodes were defined by sCr excursions above the CI, with a) ≥3 sCr values between baseline and peak; b) ≥6 hours between peak and baseline; and c) sCr increase ≥0.3 mg/dL. Specific baseline sCr values were defined for each as the minimal sCr value immediately preceding each AKI episode. Survivor functions, and relative Integrated Discrimination Improvement (rIDI) were done with Stata version 14.1.
Results
All adult 1st admissions were reviewed for FY2010-2013 at UAB Hospital, for patients with ≥3 sCr determinations, length of stay ≥1 & <31 days, excluding patients with ESRD before admission; 35, 079 patients with 1,544 inpatient deaths. AKI staging was done with KDIGO criteria, and slope-based staging for patients with AKI episodes. Survivor functions (Figure) show better discrimination between AKI stages with slope-based criteria compared to KDIGO criteria: rIDI=15.5% (95% CI: 13.5%–17.6%, P<0.001); C-statistics of 0.7694 vs. 0.7226, and AUC/ROC 0.8616 vs. 0.8551 (P=0.012).
Conclusion
Slope-based AKI staging outperforms KDIGO staging criteria for describing the association of AKI severity with inpatient mortality at UAB Hospital. Sloped-based staging is compatible with real-time, dynamic risk assessment than KDIGO staging, and also recognizes multiple AKI episodes during a single admission, with baseline sCr defined for each AKI episode. KDIGO staging is based on the absolute inclrease in sCr with reference to a prior baseline sCr, and does not recognize multiple AKI episodes.
