| Summary: | Objective: To investigate the role of acute kidney injury (AKI) classification system for kidney injury outcome in neuro-Intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Material and Method: Total 432 patients who admitted to ICU between 2005 and 2009 evaluated in this study. All patients' AKI stage, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA), Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS), mortality rate, length of ICU stay, need for intubation, and mechanical ventilation were recorded. Results: AKI was found in 24 of all 432 patents' (5.5%). We found that, patients with AKI had higher APHACE-II score, SOFA score and mortality rates; longer ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation and intubation and lower GCS and GOS than without AKI group. Conclusion: Length of ICU stay and mortality rate were higher in AKI positive group. |
