Abstract | Background: Although Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) incidence is increasing worldwide, data investigating its cost are lacking. This population-wide study aimed to describe the characteristics and costs of hospital stays with, and without AKI, and to estimate the AKI-associated increases in costs and length of stay (LOS) in three subgroups (major open visceral surgery (MOV), cardiovascular surgery with extracorporeal circulation (CVEC), and sepsis). Methods: All hospital stays that occurred in France in 2018 were included. Stay and patient characteristics were collected in the French hospital discharge database and described. Medical conditions were identified using the 10 Results: 26,917,832 hospital stays, of which 415,067 (1.5%) with AKI, were included. AKI was associated with 83,553 (19.8%), 7,165 (17.9%), and 15,387 (9.2%) of the stays with sepsis, CVEC, and MOV, respectively. Compared to stays without AKI, stays with AKI were more expensive (median [IQR] €4,719[€2,963-€7782] vs. €735[€383-€1,805]) and longer (median [IQR] 9[4-16] vs. 0[0-2] days). AKI was associated with a mean [95%CI] increase in hospitalization cost of 70% [69;72], 48% [45;50], and 68% [65;70] in the sepsis, CVEC, and MOV groups respectively, after adjustment. Conclusion: This study confirms the major economic burden of in-hospital AKI in a developed country. Interventions to prevent AKI are urgently needed and their cost should be balanced with AKI-related costs. |
