Key result
Patients with septic acute kidney injury had a significantly higher rate of in-hospital mortality compared to those with non-septic acute kidney injury (63.1% vs 31.4%, OR 3.7).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to compare predictors of in-hospital mortality between patients with septic acute kidney injury and non-septic acute kidney injury.
Does septic AKI compared to non-septic AKI increase hospital mortality in critically ill patients?
Population
116 critically ill patients with AKI admitted to the emergency room at a tertiary hospital
Comparison
Septic AKI vs non-septic AKI

48-hour renal trends may aid mortality risk stratification in AKI; leaves open whether they guide therapy differently in septic versus non-septic patients.

Odds Ratio: 3.7 (95% CI 1.7–8.1)
Absolute Event Rate: 63.1% vs 31.4%
p-value: p=0.001
Septic acute kidney injury is associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality and lower rates of renal recovery compared to non-septic acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
Samsu et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Acute kidney injury (AKI) (n=116). Septic acute kidney injury vs. Non-septic acute kidney injury was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.7-8.1, p=0.001). Patients with septic acute kidney injury had a significantly higher rate of in-hospital mortality compared to those with non-septic acute kidney injury (63.1% vs 31.4%, OR 3.7).
