[Risk factors for early acute kidney injury after cardiac arrest in children in the pediatric intensive care unit and a prognostic analysis].

OBJECTIVES
To investigate the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with cardiac arrest (CA) and the influencing factors for prognosis.


METHODS
A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of the children who developed CA in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Hunan Children's Hospital from June 2016 to June 2021. According to the presence or absence of AKI within 48 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) for CA, the children were divided into two groups: AKI (n=50) and non-AKI (n=113). According to their prognosis on day 7 after ROSC, the AKI group was further divided into a survival group (n=21) and a death group (n=29). The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for early AKI in the children with CA and the influencing factors for prognosis.


RESULTS
The incidence rate of AKI after CA was 30.7% (50/163). The AKI group had a 7-day mortality rate of 58.0% (29/50) and a 28-day mortality rate of 78.0% (39/50), and the non-AKI group had a 7-day mortality rate of 31.9% (36/113) and a 28-day mortality rate of 58.4% (66/113). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that long duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR=1.164, 95%CI: 1.088-1.246, P<0.001), low baseline albumin (OR=0.879, 95%CI: 0.806-0.958, P=0.003), and adrenaline administration before CA (OR=2.791, 95%CI: 1.119-6.961, P=0.028) were closely associated with the development of AKI after CA, and that low baseline pediatric critical illness score (OR=0.761, 95%CI: 0.612-0.945, P=0.014), adrenaline administration before CA (OR=7.018, 95%CI: 1.196-41.188, P=0.031), and mechanical ventilation before CA (OR=7.875, 95%CI: 1.358-45.672, P=0.021) were closely associated with the death of the children with AKI after CA.


CONCLUSIONS
Albumin should be closely monitored for children with ROSC after CA, especially for those with long duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, low baseline pediatric critical illness score, adrenaline administration before CA, and mechanical ventilation before CA, and such children should be identified and intervened as early as possible to reduce the incidence of AKI and the mortality rate.
