Acute kidney injury in late-onset neonatal bacteraemia: The role of the neonatal sequential organ failure assessment tool in predicting kidney injury.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across all healthcare systems. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in neonates and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. We sought to profile the incidence of AKI in infants with culture-positive bacteraemia and to assess the utility of the neonatal sequential organ failure (nSOFA) tool in AKI prediction.
