Key result
Acute kidney injury in critical illness survivors was associated with increased odds of 30-day hospital readmission across Risk, Injury, and Failure classes (OR 1.44, 1.98, and 1.55, respectively).
Why the study?
Does acute kidney injury increase the risk of 30-day hospital readmission, 30-day mortality, and progression to end-stage renal disease in critical illness survivors?

Does acute kidney injury increase the risk of 30-day hospital readmission, 30-day mortality, and progression to end-stage renal disease in critical illness survivors?
In critical illness survivors, acute kidney injury is a robust predictor of 30-day hospital readmission, 30-day mortality, and long-term progression to end-stage renal disease.

Horkan et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Critical illness (n=62,096). Acute kidney injury vs. No acute kidney injury was evaluated on Hospital readmission in the 30 days following hospital discharge (OR 1.44, 1.98, 1.55, 95% CI 1.25-1.66, 1.66-2.36, 1.26-1.91). Acute kidney injury in critical illness survivors was associated with increased odds of 30-day hospital readmission across Risk, Injury, and Failure classes (OR 1.44, 1.98, and 1.55, respectively).
