Background

Neonatal dialysis is technically challenging and rare. Prior neonatal dialysis research is primarily limited to medical claims/coding data. There are critical knowledge gaps specific to neonatal dialysis. Our objective was to describe contemporary neonatal dialysis demographics, access, modalities, complications, and outcomes.

Methods

This is a preliminary report from a multicenter retrospective cohort study of 14 centers in the Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium. Neonates initiated on dialysis within the first 30 post-natal days between June 2017-May 2022 were enrolled. Neonates with a dialysis catheter placed post-cardiac surgery for fluid management without kidney dysfunction were excluded. Data were collected until initial hospital transfer/discharge.

Results

183 neonates on dialysis were enrolled. 58% were diagnosed with acute kidney injury (AKI) and 30% with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The majority received some form of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) (71%). 25% experienced a change in dialysis modality, 52% died before hospital discharge, and 19% remained on dialysis at discharge/transfer on dialysis.

Conclusion

In this multicenter, cohort, a larger number of neonates received CKRT, many neonates changed dialysis modalities prior to discharge/transfer, and mortality rates are far greater than previously reported. Future research to inform development of evidence-based guidelines is needed to improve neonatal dialysis management and outcomes.
