Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients in intensive care units, and predicting which patients are at risk can help clinicians take appropriate preventive measures. Investigators have recently developed an artificial intelligence-based model to help make such predictions. The research will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2022 November 3–6.

Among 16,785 adults admitted to the intensive care unit in 2015–2020 in Taichung Veterans General Hospital, 30% developed AKI. An artificial intelligence-based AKI prediction model based on these patients’ data (21 features including urine trend and serum creatine) was validated in patients from 4 other medical centers (2,874, 10,758, 12,299, and 12,483 patients, respectively, with a wide range of AKI incidence of 24.9–67.2%). The model was accurate at predicting AKI 24 hours ahead of time.
