“…Factors that were previously shown to be predictive of inhospital mortality correlated with the variables identified in our study, including age, 25 sepsis, 25,26 admission to the ICU, 27 hepatic failure, 25 COPD and metastatic cancer. 28,29 The large sample size allowed us to investigate the association between specific patient characteristics and outcomes, rather than aggregating comorbidities using scales such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index. An additional novelty of this study is the identification of risk factors associated with 90-day postdischarge mortality, given that an increasing number of patients with S. aureus bacteremia are surviving beyond the length of their hospital stay.…”

“…An understanding of the health care resource use associated with AKI is needed by decision makers to frame the investment and cost-effectiveness of potential strategies. Existing studies have limitations, including incomplete assessment of baseline kidney function before hospitalization, a lack of stratification by AKI severity and need for dialysis, a lack of consideration of kidney recovery, short-term follow-up limited to the index hospitalization, and focus on specific settings [e.g., intensive care unit (17,18)] or disease states [e.g., surgery (19), cardiovascular surgery (20)(21)(22), vascular surgery (23), malignancy (24,25), and infection (26,27)]; we did not identify studies that reflect a population-based perspective.…”

“…1–5 Previous studies reporting the incidence and sequelae of AKI in the young focused on high-risk patient populations. Cohorts have been limited to those with nephrotoxic medications, 3,6–8 cardiac surgery/bypass, 9,10 sepsis, 11,12 or admission to an intensive care unit. 3,413–15 Due to patient selection, these may not accurately convey overall AKI incidence.…”
