Purpose: To develop a model to predict the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in COVID-19 patients.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of multicenter cohort of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions of Brazil involving COVID-19 critically adult patients, requiring ventilatory support, admitted to 126 Brazilian ICUs, from February 2020 to December 2021 (development) and January to May 2022 (validation). No interventions were performed.
Background And Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of predialysis dysnatremia in patients with acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT).
Design, Setting, Participants, And Measurements: A secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter cohort study was performed. Serum sodium (Na) concentrations were categorized immediately before the first RRT as normonatremia (135≤Na ≤145mEq/L), hyponatremia (mild [130≤Na ≤134mEq/L] or severe [Na ≤129mEq/L]), and hypernatremia (mild [146≤Na ≤155mEq/L] or severe [Na ≥156mEq/L]).
Background And Objectives: AKI is frequent and is associated with poor outcomes. There is limited information on the epidemiology of AKI worldwide. This study compared patients with AKI in emerging and developed countries to determine the association of clinical factors and processes of care with outcomes.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed in three tertiary-care hospitals. Platelet counts were obtained upon admission to the intensive care unit and during the first week of renal replacement therapy on days 1, 3, 5 and 7.
