ABSTRACT
To define factors of prognostic importance for critically ill infants and children with acute kidney injury (AKI), we have studied 110 children, ages from 1 month to 180 months, admitted between March 1, 2002 and September 30, 2004 to the intensive care unit of Joana de Gusmão Children's Hospital. These patients represent 8% of all intensive care unit admissions during the entire study period. The diagnosis at admission was primary renal parenchyma disease (eight patients, 7.2%) and secondary renal disease (102 patients, 92.8%). Thirty-seven patients (33.6%) died, all of whom had secondary renal insufficiency; six patients (5.4%) died as a result of septic shock, and 31 (28.2%) patients died from multiple organ failure (MOF). The variables were analyzed using Fisher's exact test for qualitative variables and Student's t-test for quantitative variables. Stratified analysis was performed to assess the relative importance of variables using the Mantel-Haenszel technique. Among the variables analyzed, the following were found to be significantly related to mortality anuria, oliguria, arterial hypotension, need for pressor drugs, need for mechanical ventilation, need for dialysis, the association with MOF, and high values of lactic acid.
