Accurate and interpretable prediction of ICU-acquired AKI

J Crit CarePublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The two AKI prediction models have good discriminative performance using common features, which can aid in accurately and informatively monitoring AKI risk in ICU patients.
