Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized children. Dialysis-treated pediatric AKI is associated with long-term chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension, and death. We aim to evaluate the outcomes after non-dialysis-treated AKI, which are uncertain.
Methods
Retrospective cohort study of all hospitalized children (0-18yr) surviving non-dialysis-treated AKI from 1996-2020 in Ontario, identified via provincial administrative health databases. Children with prior kidney replacement therapy (KRT; dialysis or transplant), CKD, or AKI were excluded. Cases were matched with up to four hospitalized controls without AKI by age, neonatal status, sex, index year, ICU admission, cardiac surgery, malignancy, hypertension, and a propensity score for AKI. Children were followed until death (2.9%), provincial emigration (5.3%), or March 2021 (91.8%). The primary outcome was major adverse kidney events (MAKE; composite of death, chronic KRT, or de novo CKD).
Results
A total of 4173 pediatric AKI survivors were matched to 16,337 hospitalized controls. Baseline covariates were well-balanced after propensity score matching. Median age was 8yr (IQR 1-15); 706 (16.9%) AKI cases were neonates. During median 9.7-year follow-up, 17.6% of AKI survivors developed MAKE vs 4.6% of controls (HR 4.3, 95%CI 3.9-4.8, p<0.001). AKI cases had higher rates of chronic KRT (2.2% vs 0.2%; HR 12.8, 95%CI 8.5-19.4), CKD (15.9% vs 2.0%; HR 8.8, 95%CI 7.7-10.0), hypertension (16.8% vs 7.7%; HR 2.4, 95%CI 2.2-2.7), and subsequent AKI (5.7% vs 1.5%; HR 4.0, 95%CI 3.4-4.8), but no mortality difference (2.7% vs 2.9%; HR 1.0, 95%CI 0.78-1.16).
Conclusion
Children with non-dialysis-treated AKI are at increased long-term risk of CKD, chronic KRT, hypertension, and subsequent AKI vs hospitalized controls.
