Association of AKI with TBI patients’ outcomes
AKI, TBI
As an exploratory analysis, we studied the association between AKI onset, defined as a KDIGO stage 2 and 3, and several ICU outcomes. The length of ICU stay was 19.8 ± 17.4 days in TBI patients without AKI and 28.2 ± 25.4 days in patients with AKI (p = 0.001). ICU mortality was 19.5% for patients without AKI and 14% for patients with AKI (p = 0.33). There was no association between cumulative chloride infusion on Day 4 and the occurrence of AKI: 79.2 g versus 80.4 g (
