Development and Validation of a Real-time Prediction Model for Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalized Patients

Early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) may provide a crucial opportunity for AKI prevention. To date, no prediction model targeting AKI among general hospitalized patients in developing countries has been published. We developed a simple, real-time, interpretable AKI prediction model for general hospitalized patients from a large tertiary hospital in China, and validated it across five independent, geographically distinct, different tiered hospitals.
