Article Synopsis
- Polytrauma from road accidents frequently causes acute kidney injury (AKI), affecting hospital admissions and patient outcomes, with a noted AKI incidence of 30.5% among severely injured patients in Dubai.
- Higher Injury Severity Scores (ISS) and comorbidity indices show significant associations with AKI, indicating that severe injuries and pre-existing health conditions increase the risk of kidney damage.
- The presence of AKI results in longer hospital and ICU stays, increased mechanical ventilation needs, more ventilator days, and a higher mortality rate, significantly impacting patient prognosis.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is repeatedly observed in ventilated critically ill patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. This study aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and consequences of AKI in the ventilated critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Methods: This retrospective study included all the ventilated critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 pneumonia from March 1, 2020, to June 1, 2020.
