ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the way we predict Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in children who are admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU). The researchers want to test a special scoring system called the Pediatric Early AKI Risk Score to see how accurately it can identify patients at risk for AKI within the first 72 hours of being in the ICU. They will do this by collecting data in a way that the clinical team cannot see, to ensure unbiased results. The goal is to have the scoring system identify AKI correctly more than 70% of the time.

To be eligible for this study, patients must be between 30 days and 17 years old and must be admitted to one of the specialized intensive care units mentioned. However, those who are discharged less than 12 hours after admission or who already have AKI when they arrive will not be included. Participants in the trial can expect that their information will be used to help improve future care for children at risk of kidney injury. This study is currently not recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important insights for better treatment options in the future.
