Predicting AKI in emergency admissions: an external validation study of the acute kidney injury prediction score (APS)

Conclusions
On external validation the APS on admission shows moderate discrimination and acceptable calibration to predict HA-AKI and may be useful as a severity marker when HA-AKI occurs. Harnessing linked data from primary care may be one way to achieve more accurate risk prediction.
