Major Adverse Kidney Events in Pediatric Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Importance: Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is increasingly used in youths with critical illness, but little is known about longer-term outcomes, such as persistent kidney dysfunction, continued need for dialysis, or death. Objective: To characterize the incidence and risk factors, including liberation patterns, associated with major adverse kidney events 90 days after CKRT initiation (MAKE-90) in children, adolescents, and young adults. Design, Setting, and Participants: This international, multicenter cohort study was conducted among patients aged 0 to 25 years from The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) registry treated with CKRT for acute kidney injury or fluid overload from 2015 to 2021. Exclusion criteria were dialysis dependence, concurrent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, or receipt of CKRT for a different indication. Data were analyzed from May 2 to December 14, 2023. Exposure: Patient clinical characteristics and CKRT parameters were assessed. CKRT liberation was classified as successful, reinstituted, or not attempted. Successful liberation was defined as the first attempt at CKRT liberation resulting in 72 hours or more without return to dialysis within 28 days of CKRT initiation. Main Outcomes and Measures: MAKE-90, including death or persistent kidney dysfunction (dialysis dependence or ≥25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline), were assessed. Results: Among 969 patients treated with CKRT (529 males [54.6%]; median [IQR] age, 8.8 [1.7-15.0] years), 630 patients (65.0%) developed MAKE-90. On multivariable analysis, cardiac comorbidity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.60; 95% CI, 1.08-2.37), longer duration of intensive care unit admission before CKRT initiation (aOR for 6 days vs 1 day, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02-1.13), and liberation pattern were associated with MAKE-90. In this analysis, patients who successfully liberated from CKRT within 28 days had lower odds of MAKE-90 compared with patients in whom liberation was attempted and failed (aOR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.22-0.48) and patients without a liberation attempt (aOR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01-0.04). Conclusions and Relevance: In this study, MAKE-90 occurred in almost two-thirds of the population and patient-level risk factors associated with MAKE-90 included cardiac comorbidity, time to CKRT initiation, and liberation patterns. These findings highlight the high incidence of adverse outcomes in this population and suggest that future prospective studies are needed to better understand liberation patterns and practices.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
