AKI defined by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, Acute Kidney Injury Network and Pediatric Risk Injury Failure End Stage criteria.

Results

399 patients with 589 visits. 39% unique patients had data to assess AKI, with 33% AKI+. 36% visits had data to assess AKI with 27.7% +AKI. Data was not sufficent to assess for AKI in 65.6% of patients and 63.8% visits. Among AKI patients, 15% had documentation of AKI; 22% with Cr in lab documentation, but no mention of abnormal cr assessment/plan. 55.9% of AKI+ visits, patients were treated with NSAID in the ED; 47% of AKI visits were discharged home with NSAIDs.
