Variation in Risk and Mortality of Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Patients: A Multicenter Study.

Conclusions: In this study, the absolute and severity-adjusted rates of AKI and hospital mortality rates for AKI varied across centers. Future studies should examine whether variation in the risk of AKI among centers is due to differences in clinical practice or process of care or residual confounding due to unmeasured factors. © 2015 S.
