Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of critically ill elderlies. Several severity scoring systems have been used to predict the prognosis. However, which severity score has the better predictive efficiency in elderlies with AKI is unknown.

Methods

Data of AKI elderlies was extracted from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. Subjects were divided into three groups, according to 65-75 years, 75 - 85 years and ≥ 85 years. SAPS II, OASIS, MLODS, SIRS and SOFA were compared. The Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to assess the prognostic values.

Results

Totally 10472 AKI elderlies were enrolled. Older patients had higher death rates (Figure A) and shorter survival time (Figure B). SAPS II had the best prognostic value (P < 0.01, Figure C). The AUC of SAPS II (95% CI, 0.676 to 0.694) was significantly the highest (P < 0.01, Table). The cut-off value of SAPS II was 40. Patients with SAPS II < 40 would have a better prognosis than those with SAPS II ≥ 40 (Figure D).

Conclusion

SAPS II could better predict the long-term prognosis of elderly patients with AKI.
