Multicenter StudyClinical variables associated with poor outcome from sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and the relationship with timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy.
Identify clinical variables associated with mortality in patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and examine timing of initiation of CRRT in reference to those variables identified. ⋯ In patients with SA-AKI, survival is lower when CRRT is started in the setting of low urine output.

Prognostic implications of adding urine output to serum creatinine measurements for staging of acute kidney injury after major surgery: a cohort study.
Current guidelines recommend staging acute kidney injury (AKI) according to the serum creatinine (SCr) or urine output (UO) criteria that achieve the highest stage. There is little information about the implications of adding UO to SCr measurements for staging AKI outside intensive care units and after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Adding UO to SCr criteria substantially increases the apparent incidence of AKI on hospital wards and significantly changes the prognostic implications of AKI identification and staging. These measures should not be considered equivalent criteria in AKI staging.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyFactors predicting successful discontinuation of continuous renal replacement therapy.
This multicentre, retrospective observational study was conducted from January 2010 to December 2010 to determine the optimal time for discontinuing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) by evaluating factors predictive of successful discontinuation in patients with acute kidney injury. Analysis was performed for patients after CRRT was discontinued because of renal function recovery. ⋯ In multivariate logistic regression analysis, urine output at discontinuation, creatinine level and CRRT duration were found to be significant variables (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for urine output, 0.814). In conclusion, we found that higher urine output, lower creatinine and shorter CRRT duration were significant factors to predict successful discontinuation of CRRT.

Urine sodium concentration to predict fluid responsiveness in oliguric ICU patients: a prospective multicenter observational study.
Oliguria is one of the leading triggers of fluid loading in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive value of urine Na(+) (uNa(+)) and other routine urine biomarkers for cardiac fluid responsiveness in oliguric ICU patients. ⋯ In the present study, most oliguric patients were not CRs and half were not renal responders to fluid challenge. Routine urinary biomarkers were not predictive of fluid responsiveness in oliguric normotensive ICU patients.

Intraoperative perfusion management impacts postoperative outcomes: an analysis of 682 autologous breast reconstruction patients.
Anesthetic management remains an understudied aspect of free autologous breast reconstruction. This study aims to critically examine intraoperative anesthetic management as it relates to free flap perfusion and its effect on major complications. ⋯ Prognostic/risk category, level II.
