Temporal Trends in Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalizations From 2009-2018 in Alberta: A Retrospective Population-Based Cohort Study
Although rates of AKI appear to be increasing, this seems to be largely driven by patient comorbid condition with the highest rates seen in stage 1 AKI. Furthermore, there was an overall increase in rates of AKI in patients aged younger than 60 and a decrease in the most elderly of patients in both the crude and adjusted data, suggesting potential changes in practice patterns and patient characteristics. Despite this increase, there was an overall decrease in mortality, especially in severe forms of AKI.
