Identifying Opportunities to Lower Rates of and Improve Outcomes after AKI

This multiple-PI proposal leverages our ongoing studies to address the following three aims related to acute kidney injury (AKI): 1) To evaluate the role of patient characteristics and practice variation in accounting for the drop in incidence of AKI observed among hospitalized patients within KPNC; 2) To advance our understanding of the epidemiology of AKI among non-hospitalized patients and how different management strategies in the ambulatory setting correlate with outcomes; and 3) To identify risk factors for recurrent AKI among patients with AKI in the ambulatory or inpatient setting.
