Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) may develop in COVID-19 patients and may be associated with a worse outcome. The aim of this study is to describe AKI incidence during the first 45 days of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic in Spain, its reversibility and the association with mortality. Methods Observational retrospective case-control study based on patients hospitalized between March 1 and April 15, 2020 with SARS-CoV2 infection and AKI. Confirmed AKI cases were compared with stable kidney function patients for baseline characteristics, analytical data, treatment and renal outcome. Patients with end-stage kidney disease were excluded. Results AKI incidence was 17.22% among 3182 admitted COVID-19 patients and acute kidney disease (AKD) incidence was 6.82%. The most frequent causes of AKI were prerenal (68.8%) and sepsis (21.9%). Odds ratio for AKI was increased in patients with pre-existent hypertension (OR 2.58, 95% CI 1.71-3.89) and chronic kidney disease (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.33-3.42) and in those with respiratory distress (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.52-3.70). Low arterial pressure at admission increased the risk for stage 3 AKI (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.09-2.50). Baseline kidney function was not recovered in 45.73% of overall AKI cases and in 52.75% of AKI patients with prior chronic kidney disease. Mortality was 38.5% compared to 13.4% of the overall sample population. AKI increased mortality risk at any time of hospitalization (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.09-1.93). Conclusions AKI is frequent in COVID-19 patients and is associated to mortality, independently from acute respiratory distress syndrome. AKD was also frequent and merits adequate follow-up.

Abstract Objective Despite being the most common postoperative complication and having associated morbidity and mortality that increase health care costs, surgical site infection (SSI) has not received adequate attention and deserves further study. Previous reports in children were limited to SSI in certain populations. We conducted this retrospective case–control study to determine the incidence and possible risk factors for SSI following pediatric general surgical procedures. Methods This was a retrospective case–control matched cohort study of all patients aged 0 to 14 years who underwent pediatric general surgical procedures between June 2015 and July 2018. The electronic medical records were searched for a diagnosis of SSI. Control subjects were randomly selected at a 4:1 ratio from patients who underwent identical procedures. Multiple risk factors were evaluated by bivariate analysis and multivariable conditional logistic regression. Results A total of 1,520 patients underwent a general pediatric procedure during the study period, and of these, 47 (3.09%) developed SSIs. A bivariate analysis showed that patients with SSIs were younger, were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit/pediatric intensive care unit (NICU/PICU) preoperatively, were more severely ill as measured by the ASA classification, underwent multiple procedures, had more surgical complications, and were transferred to the NICU/PICU postoperatively. A multivariate analysis identified four independent predictors of SSI: age, preoperative NICU/PICU admission, number of procedures, and ASA classification. Conclusion Younger children with preoperative admission to the NICU/PICU, those who underwent multiple procedures and those who were severely ill as measured by their ASA classification were significantly more likely to develop SSIs.

AbstractThis retrospective case-control study was performed to determine risk factors for bacteremia due to persistent coagulase-negative staphylococci in our neonatal intensive-care unit. Enteral nutrition and the presence of a nasogastric tube were identified as possible risk factors for coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia involving one of the persistent strains.
