Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant health issue in neonates, particularly in developing regions like Ethiopia, with this study particularly focusing on its incidence and predictors in intensive care settings.
- A retrospective analysis of 634 neonates revealed a 14.9 per 1000 incidence rate of AKI, with various factors such as sepsis, perinatal asphyxia, and specific drug use (like gentamicin) identified as statistically significant predictors.
- This research highlights the need for increased attention to neonatal care in low-resource settings to help reduce morbidity and mortality associated with AKI.
