The aim of our study was to determine the causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children, to compare outcomes between two periods – 1998–2003 and 2004-2008 – and to evaluate the influence of new methods of renal replacement therapy on mortality. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical record data of all children treated for AKI at the Clinic of Children Diseases, Hospital of Kaunas University of Medicine, during the period of 1998–2008 was made. Both periods were compared regarding various variables. Results. Of the 179 children with AKI, 75 (41.9%) were treated during 1998–2003 and 104 (58.1%) during 2004–2008. Primary glomerular disease and sepsis were the leading causes of AKI in both the periods. AKI without involvement of other organs was diagnosed for 106 (59.2%) children: for 42 (56.0%) children in the first period and 64 (61.5%) in the second. A total of 124 (69.3%) children were treated in a pediatric intensive care unit. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with AKI was diagnosed for 33 (44%) patients in the first period and for 40 (38.5%) in the second. A significant decrease in mortality among patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome during the second period was observed (78.8% vs. 37.5%). Conclusions. More than half of patients had secondary acute kidney injury of nonrenal origin. More than two-thirds (69.3%) of patients with AKI were treated in the pediatric intensive care unit. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome was diagnosed for 40.8% of children with AKI. Renal replacement therapy was indicated for one-third of patients with AKI. A 2.5-fold decrease in mortality was observed in the second period as compared to the first one.

Latar belakang. Skor PELOD-2 digunakan untuk mengetahui disfungsi organ pada anak dengan sakit kritis. Hasil skor PELOD-2 tidak selalu berbanding lurus dengan luaran perawatan anak sakit kritis sehingga tidak selalu dapat digunakan sebagai prediktor luaran dan mortalitas anak yang dirawat di PICU.Tujuan. Mengetahui profil dan luaran pasien sakit kritis yang dirawat berdasar skor PELOD-2.Metode. Penelitian dilakukan secara retrospektif dengan mengambil data rekam medis pasien rawat di ruang intensif anak RSUPN Cipto Mangukusumo, sejak Januari sampai Desember 2018. Pengambilan subjek secara total sampling, penilaian dilakukan pada 24 jam pertama perawatan. Hasil. Diperoleh 477 subjek yang memenuhi kriteria. Subjek sebagian besar berjenis kelamin laki-laki (56,4%), berusia <1 tahun (27,9%), dengan bedah sebagai diagnosis awal terbanyak (65%). Sebagian besar pasien memiliki penyakit kronik (70,4%). Angka mortalitas penelitian ini adalah 10,7%. Mayoritas subjek memiliki lama rawat <7 hari (75,5%). Subjek dengan lama rawat >14 hari memiliki median skor PELOD-2 tiga kali lipat dari subjek dengan lama rawat <7 hari. Titik potong luaran mortalitas skor PELOD-2 pada penelitian ini adalah >5, memiliki spesifisitas 84,5% dan sensitifitas 84,3% dengan nilai AUC skor PELOD-2 dari kurva ROC sebesar 93,4% (IK 95% 90,6–96,2).Kesimpulan. Skor PELOD-2 dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi disfungsi organ yang mengancam kehidupan pada anak tanpa imunosupresi dan semakin tinggi skor PELOD-2 akan diikuti dengan peningkatan lama rawat dan mortalitas.
