[The challenge of acute kidney injury : Cross-sectional study on prevalence and costs in a university intensive care unit].
Article in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe prognosis of intensive care patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with increased mortality is still poor. Current data on the prevalence and the resulting costs of AKI and an overview of the most common diagnoses associated with AKI in German intensive care units (ICU) are lacking. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn this retrospective study all adult admissions (> 18 Jahre) in the five ICUs at the University Clinic Regensburg (in total 78 beds) from1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013 were evaluated. The ICU diagnoses commonly associated with AKI were identified using the international classification of diseases 10 (ICD 10). The length of ICU and hospital stays and AKI-associated hospital costs in the diagnosis-related groups (DRG) based reimbursement system were compared.
resultsA total of 891 ICU patients with AKI were classified according to the ICD 10 code. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), myocardial infarction (MI) and sepsis were the three most common ICU conditions associated with AKI. A total of 1103 patients were admitted with 1 of these 3 main diagnoses and 249 (22.6 %) of these patients developed AKI. Patients with AKI had significantly longer mean ICU and hospital stays compared to patients without AKI (18.6 vs 5.1 days and 23.8 vs. 10.4 days, respectively, p < 0.001). The presence of AKI in critically ill patients with ARDS, MI and sepsis resulted in additional costs of 2,019,120.42 € at the University Hospital of Regensburg in 2013.
conclusionAcute kidney injury in critically ill patients represents a significant medical and socioeconomic burden. Early recognition of patients at risk, coordinated research into novel interventions and establishment of the National Acute Kidney Injury Network for implementation of evidence-based therapies may be the next steps to decrease the incidence and severity of AKI and save costs for the national healthcare system.
