Comparison of Outcomes of Mild and Severe Community- and Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury.

Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has shown an increasingly common occurrence among hospitalized patients worldwide. We determined the incidence and compared the short- and long-term outcomes of all stages of community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI) and hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI), and identified predictors for such outcomes.

Materials And Methods: This observational, single-center, retrospective study identified patients admitted between January 2013 and December 2013 who developed CA-AKI or HA-AKI.
