Conclusions and Relevance
AKI, BPD
In this post hoc cohort study of premature neonates, fluid correction increased the number of premature neonates with a diagnosis of AKI and was associated with increased odds of adverse clinical outcomes, including ventilation and BPD. Failing to correct serum creatinine for fluid balance underestimates the prevalence and impact of AKI in premature neonates. Future studies should consider correcting AKI for fluid balance.
