Abstract
Objective

To assess incidence, risk factors and impact of acute kidney injury(AKI) within 48 h of intensive care unit(ICU) admission on ICU mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. To assess ICU mortality and risk factors for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in AKI I and II patients.

Design

Retrospective observational study.

Setting

Sixty-seven ICU from Spain, Andorra, Ireland.

Patients

5399 patients March 2020 to April 2022.

Main variables of interest

Demographic variables, comorbidities, laboratory data (worst values) during the first two days of ICU admission to generate a logistic regression model describing independent risk factors for AKI and ICU mortality. AKI was defined according to current international guidelines (kidney disease improving global outcomes, KDIGO).

Results

Of 5399 patients included 1879 (34.8%) developed AKI. These patients had higher ICU mortality and AKI was independently associated with a higher ICU mortality (HR 1.32 CI 1.17–1.48; p < 0.001).

Male gender, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic heart failure, myocardial dysfunction, higher severity scores, and procalcitonine were independently associated with the development of AKI.

In AKI I and II patients the need for CRRT was 12.6% (217/1710). In these patients, APACHE II, need for mechanical ventilation in the first 24 h after ICU admission and myocardial dysfunction were associated with risk of needing CRRT. AKI I and II patients had a high ICU mortality (38.5%), especially if CRRT were required (64.1% vs. 34,8%; p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and AKI have a high ICU mortality. Even AKI I and II stages are associated with high risk of needing CRRT and ICU mortality.

Resumen
Objetivo

Describir incidencia, factores de riesgo e impacto de insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) en primeras 48 horas de ingreso en unidad de cuidados intensivos(UCI) sobre la mortalidad en UCI en pacientes con neumonía por SARS-CoV-2. Evaluar mortalidad en UCI y factores de riesgo para técnicas continuas de reemplazo renal (TCRR) en pacientes con IRA I y II.

Diseño

Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo.

Ámbito

UCI España, Andorra, Irlanda.

Pacientes

Pacientes marzo 2020 abril 2022.

Variables de interés principals

Variables demográficas, comorbilidades, datos de laboratorio (valores peores) durante los dos primeros días de ingreso en UCI para generar modelo de regresión logística que describa factores de riesgo de IRA y mortalidad en UCI. Se definió IRA según guías Internacionales actuales (Kidney disease improving global outcomes, KDIGO).

Resultados

De 5.399 pacientes incluidos 1879 (34,8%) desarrollaron IRA. Estos pacientes presentaron mayor mortalidad en UCI; la IRA se asoció con mayor riesgo de mortalidad en UCI (HR 1,32 IC 1,17−1,48; p < 0,001).

El sexo masculino, hipertensión, diabetis, obesidad, insuficiencia cardíaca crónica, disfunción miocárdica, scores de gravedad mayores, y procalcitonine se asociaron con desarrollo de IRA.

El 12.6% de pacientes con IRA I y II precisaron TCRR. En éstos el APACHE II, necesidad de VM en primeras 24 horas de ingreso en UCI y la disfunción miocárdica se asociaron al riesgo de necesitar TCRR. Estos pacientes tuvieron una elevada mortalidad en UCI (38.5%) sobre todo si precisaron TCRR (64.1% vs. 34,8%; p < 0.001).

Conclusiones

Los pacientes críticos con neumonía por SARS-CoV-2 e IRA tienen elevada mortalidad. Incluso IRA I y II se asocia a mayor necesidad de TCRR y mortalidad en UCI.
