Abstract
Background: Non-critical care Hospital-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury (Non-ICU HA-AKI) is a preventable common complication. Aim: To analyze its risk factors and outcomes in a general hospital ward. Material and methods: A retrospective paired case-control 1:2 study was carried out from April to December 2014. Non-ICU HA-AKI was defined as those patients who experienced a 1.5-fold, or 0.3 mg/dl rise in serum creatinine after 24 hours of hospitalization. Controls were randomly selected, paired by date of hospital admission and specialty causing the admission. We analyzed short-term outcomes and risk factors. Results: We included 101cases aged 65 ± 16 years (55% women). Mean length of stay at the time of diagnosis of AKI was 7.9 ± 8.9 days. Hospital length of stay was longer in patients with AKI (p
