- In 2013, literature about the epidemiology of neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI) was limited to primarily retrospective, single center studies that suggested that AKI was common and that those with AKI had higher rates of mortality. We developed a 24-center retrospective cohort of neonates admitted to the NICU between January 1 and March 31, 2014. Analysis of the Assessment of Worldwide Acute Kidney Epidemiology in Neonates (AWAKEN) cohort, has allowed us to describe the prevalence, risk factors and impact of neonatal AKI for different gestational age cohorts.
