Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are hospitalized patients diagnosed with acute kidney injury based on serum creatinine changes.

Probably not a fit

Patients with end-stage kidney disease or those who have undergone nephrectomy or kidney transplantation will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the burden of acute kidney injury (AKI) among hospitalized patients in China from 2011 to 2016. By analyzing changes in serum creatinine levels based on the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, the study seeks to identify the prevalence and risk factors associated with AKI. The data will be collected from a nationwide cohort of patients, providing valuable insights into the epidemiology of this condition in the Chinese healthcare context.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of acute kidney injury, leading to improved prevention and management strategies for patients.

How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have been conducted globally, this specific nationwide evaluation in China is novel and aims to fill a significant gap in local epidemiological data.
