Approximately one-third of patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) progress to acute kidney disease (AKD) with higher short-term mortality. We aimed to identify the clinical characteristics that influence in-hospital death in sepsis-associated AKD and develop a nomogram to facilitate early warning. ⋯ We identified seven predictors of in-hospital death in patients with sepsis-associated AKD. In addition, we developed an online dynamic nomogram to accurately and conveniently predict short-term outcomes, which performed well in the external dataset.
