Question
AKI, acute kidney injury
Does correcting serum creatinine for fluid balance identify previously missed episodes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in premature neonates?
PMC10415963
Findings
AKI
LUNG DISEASE
In this post hoc cohort analysis of a placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of 923 premature neonates, fluid correction increased the number of premature neonates with a diagnosis of AKI. Correction for fluid balance was associated with increased odds of adverse clinical outcomes, including ventilation and seve...
PMC10415963
Meaning
AKI
These findings suggest that failing to correct serum creatinine for fluid balance underestimates the prevalence and severity of AKI in premature neonates, and future studies should consider correcting serum creatinine for fluid status to improve identification of AKI in premature neonates.
PMC10415963
Importance
AKI, Acute kidney injury
ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and disordered fluid balance are common in premature neonates; a positive fluid balance dilutes serum creatinine, and a negative fluid balance concentrates serum creatinine, both of which complicate AKI diagnosis. Correcting serum creatinine for fluid balance may improve diagnosis and increase...
PMC10415963
Objective
AKI
To determine whether correcting serum creatinine for fluid balance would identify additional neonates with AKI and alter the association of AKI with short-term and long-term outcomes.
PMC10415963
Design, Setting, and Participants
This study was a post hoc cohort analysis of the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial (PENUT), a phase 3, randomized clinical trial of erythropoietin, conducted at 19 academic centers and 30 neonatal intensive care units in the US from December 2013 to September 2016.

We defined class switching as neonates who moved from 1 stage of AKI to another after correcting for fluid balance.
