To determine the period prevalence of acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy and evaluate the associated mortality among critically ill patients.
Conducted a multinational, multicenter investigation across intensive care units.
Assessed period prevalence of acute renal failure necessitating renal replacement therapy alongside hospital mortality outcomes.
Identified an intensive care unit period prevalence of acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy between 5% and 6%.
Observed an association between severe acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy and high hospital mortality rates.

Implication

Multicenter study reveals acute renal failure requiring dialysis affects up to 6% of ICU patients, indicating substantial hospital mortality risk.

Abstract

In this multinational study, the period prevalence of ARF requiring RRT in the ICU was between 5% and 6% and was associated with a high hospital mortality rate.
