Effect of Transient and Sustained Acute Kidney Injury on Readmissions in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Although acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in heart failure, yet the impact of the onset, timing, and duration of AKI on short-term outcomes is not well studied. AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine SCr of ≥0.3 mg/dl or 1.5 times relative to the admission and further categorized as t...

Summary: | Although acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in heart failure, yet the impact of the onset, timing, and duration of AKI on short-term outcomes is not well studied. AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine SCr of ≥0.3 mg/dl or 1.5 times relative to the admission and further categorized as transient AKI (T-AKI: SCr returning to within 10% of baseline); sustained AKI (S-AKI: those with at least 72 hours of hospital stay and did not meet T-AKI); and unknown duration AKI (U-AKI: those with less than 72 hours stay and did not meet T-AKI). Reference category was no AKI (stable or |
