Abstract

Background

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common pathology among adult patients, with an incidence ranging from 3–25 % depending on risk factors. Little information is available regarding CI-AKI incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact in the pediatric population.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study of pediatric patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) scan with iodinated contrast media injection between 2005 and 2014 in five pediatric units of a university hospital. CI-AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease/Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.

Results

Of 346 identified patients, 233 had renal function follow-up and were included in our analyses. CI-AKI incidence was 10.3 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) 6.4–14.2 %]. CI-AKI was associated with 30-day unfavorable outcome before (45.8 % vs. 19.7 %, P = 0.007) and after [odds ratio (OR) 3.6; 95 % CI 1.4–9.5] adjustment for confounders. No independent risk factors of CI-AKI were identified.

Conclusions

CI-AKI incidence was as high as 10.3 % following intravenous contrast media administration in the pediatric setting. As reported among adults, CI-AKI was associated with unfavorable outcome after adjustment for confounders. Although additional studies are needed in the pediatric setting, our data suggest that physicians should maintain a high degree of suspicion toward this complication among pediatric patients.

„Übersichtlicher Wegweiser“: Lauterbachs umstrittener Klinik-Atlas ist online

17.05.2024 Klinik aktuell Nachrichten

Sie sei „ethisch geboten“, meint Gesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach: mehr Transparenz über die Qualität von Klinikbehandlungen. Um sie abzubilden, lässt er gegen den Widerstand vieler Länder einen virtuellen Klinik-Atlas freischalten.

ADHS-Medikation erhöht das kardiovaskuläre Risiko

16.05.2024 Herzinsuffizienz Nachrichten

Erwachsene, die Medikamente gegen das Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom einnehmen, laufen offenbar erhöhte Gefahr, an Herzschwäche zu erkranken oder einen Schlaganfall zu erleiden. Es scheint eine Dosis-Wirkungs-Beziehung zu bestehen.
