“…The CRP to albumin ratio has been shown to be more accurate than CRP alone for predicting the 28day mortality in critically ill patients (20). In addition, a higher CRP to albumin ratio at admission has been determined as a risk factor for in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (21). Similarly, an initial elevated CRP to albumin ratio was significantly related to 28-day mortality associated with infections caused by Elizabethkingia spp., a dangerous opportunistic bacterial pathogen causing different illnesses including pneumonia (22).…”

“…Relationship between AKI, comorbidity and IHM is a very actual debate [ 61 – 64 ]. Our results suggest that also seasonality should be taken into account especially in Italy, a country belonging to warm temperate climates [ 21 ].…”

Purpose Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates hospitalization and is associated with in-hospital mortality (IHM). It has been reported a seasonal trend in different clinical conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible relationship between seasons of the year and IHM in elderly hospitalized patients with AKI. Methods We selected all admissions complicated by AKI between 2000 and 2015 recorded in the Italian National Hospital Database. ICD-9-CM code 584.xx identified subjects with age ≥ 65 years and age, sex, comorbidity burden, need of dialysis treatment and IHM were compared in hospitalizations recorded during the four seasons. Moreover, we plotted the AKI observed/expected ratio and percentage of mortality during the study period. Results We evaluated 759,720 AKI hospitalizations (mean age 80.5 ± 7.8 years, 52.2% males). Patients hospitalized with AKI during winter months had higher age, prevalence of dialysis-dependent AKI, and number of deceased patients. In whole population IHM was higher in winter and lower in summer, while the AKI observed/expected ratio demonstrated two peaks, one in summer and one in winter. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that parameters such as age, autumn, winter, comorbidity burden were positively associated with IHM. Conclusion We conclude that a seasonality exists in AKI, however, relationship between seasons and AKI could vary depending on the aspects considered. Both autumn and winter months are independent risk factors for IHM in patients with AKI regardless of age, sex and comorbidity burden. On the contrary, summer time reduces the risk of death during hospitalizations with AKI.
