Overview
Brief Summary
This is an international, multicenter, observational study aimed at investigating acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) in Latin American countries. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- What is the epidemiology, outcomes, and processes of care for patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America?
- How do outcomes differ across different countries in Latin America?
- What factors (demographics, clinical, socioeconomic) influence outcomes in patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America?
The main aims of this study are to:
- Establish a comprehensive database containing clinical, laboratory, treatment, process, and outcome data of patients with AKI-RRT in Latin America
- Describe current epidemiology of AKI-RRT in Latin America
- Compare processes of care and outcomes across different countries in Latin America
- Provide data resources to facilitate and promote clinical research in AKI-RRT

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
In-hospital mortality
Time Frame: From enrollment to hospital discharge or 90 days (whichever occurs first)
The variable is coded as 1 = deceased and 0 = alive by the time of hospital discharge
Secondary Outcomes
- Length of stay in the ICU(From ICU admission to death or ICU discharge (truncated at 90 days))
- RRT dependence at follow-up(From RRT initiation (day 0) to 90-days post-ICU admission follow-up)
- RRT dependence at hospital discharge(From RRT initiation to hospital discharge or 90 days (whichever occurs first))
- Infectious complications associated with RRT(RRT initiation (day 0) to RRT day 6 or RRT termination (whichever occurs first))
- ICU mortality(From enrollment to ICU discharge or 90 days (whichever occurs first))
- 90-day follow-up mortality(From enrollment to 90-days post-ICU admission follow-up)
- Anticoagulation-related complications associated with RRT(RRT initiation (day 0) to RRT day 6 or RRT termination (whichever occurs first))
- Length of stay in the hospital(From hospital admission to death or hospital discharge (truncated at 90 days))
- Renal function recovery at follow-up(From enrollment to 90-days post-ICU admission follow-up)
- RRT-related procedural complications(RRT initiation (day 0) to RRT day 6 or RRT termination (whichever occurs first))
- Renal function recovery at hospital discharge(From enrollment to hospital discharge or 90 days (whichever occurs first))
