Overview

Retrospective cohort analysis examines survival outcomes in critically ill cirrhosis patients receiving kidney therapy, suggesting limited prognosis.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of acute kidney injury on survival in critically ill patients with cirrhosis requiring kidney replacement therapy.
  • Conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of patients with cirrhosis and AKI in a medical ICU.
  • Gathered data on CLIF-C ACLF and MELD-Na scores at ICU admission.
  • Analyzed survival outcomes at 1 and 6 months post-KRT initiation.
  • Only 21.4% and 15.3% of patients were alive at 1 and 6 months post-admission, respectively.
  • Median survival time from KRT initiation was 5 days (IQR 3-12.5 days).
  • Significant associations found with CLIF-C ACLF score and survival, rather than KRT modality.
