Impact of early versus conventional kidney replacement therapy initiation in tumor lysis syndrome: a target trial emulation

Ann Intensive CarePublished Target trial emulation

Authors' conclusion

Our results do not support the strategy of KRT initiation based on a sole critical phosphatemia level in TLS patients.
