Sepsis & infection

Distribution of Acute and Chronic Kidney Disease Across Clinical Phenotypes for Sepsis

ChestPublished Secondary analysis of a randomised clinical trial of early resuscitation

Authors' conclusion

The rates of AKI and AKD differed across clinical sepsis phenotypes and are more common among patients with phenotypes β and δ.

Study context

Population
Patients with septic shock, excluding end-stage kidney disease and missing dataeligible
Participants
1,090 patients
Comparison
Sepsis phenotypes β, γ, δ vs α
Primary endpoint
AKI (within 24 h: KDIGO stage 2 or 3, or stage 1 with TIMP-2 × IGFBP7 > 2.0) and AKD (persistence of AKI at any stage on day 7) by phenotype
Methodological detailsmulticentre (31 sites), multivariable logistic regression
  • Multicentre (31 sites)
  • Multivariable logistic regression
