Predictive capacity of prognostic scores for kidney injury, dialysis, and death in intensive care units

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the capacity of Charlson, SAPS 3 and SOFA scores to predict acute kidney injury, need for dialysis, death in intensive care unit patients. Method: Prospective cohort, with 432 individuals admitted four units. Clinical characteristics at admission, severity profile, intensity were analyzed using association correlation tests. The sensitivity specificity assessed ROC curve. Results: results show that patients injury older (65[27] years vs. 60[25] years, p = 0.019) mostly are from emergency department (57.9% 38.0 %, < 0.001), when compared those group without injury. For dialysis prediction, AUC: 0.590; 95%CI: 0.507–0.674; p-value: 0.032 0.667; 0.591–0.743; 0.000, respectively. All performed well death. Conclusion: prognostic showed good Charlson Comorbidity Index predictive death; however, it did not perform dialysis.
