Use of height-independent baseline creatinine imputation method with renal angina index
2019
Background
The Renal Angina Index (RAI) is a validated screening tool used at 12 h of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission to predict severe acute kidney injury (AKI) on day 3 of PICU stay. A measured or height-imputed baseline serum creatinine (SCr) is required for AKI diagnosis and RAI calculation, yet these are often lacking. We assessed an age-based, height-independent baseline SCr calculation and compared the RAI values employing this method to their historical counterpart.
