Abstract
PurposeTo assess risk factors and associated outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hip fracture patients. MethodsRisk factors for AKI were identified by multivariate logistic regression. AKI patients were matched to patients who did not experience AKI using a validated trauma triage score. Comparative analyses between matched groups were performed. ResultsRisk factors of AKI included increasing Charlson Comorbidity Index and use of anticoagulation medications. AKI was associated with increased likelihood of medical complications and longer, more costly hospital stays. DiscussionPatients with identified risk factors for AKI may benefit from consultation with nephrology and closer lab monitoring.
