Shah S, et al. - Researchers utilized data from the 2006 to 2015 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, to analyze clinical results as well as health care use in pregnancy-associated acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in women with diabetes. They found 42,190,790 pregnancy-associated hospitalizations among women aged 15–49 years. The rate of AKI during pregnancy-associated hospitalizations was estimated to be 0.08%. Findings revealed a rise in the rates of pregnancy-associated AKI hospitalizations over the last decade. Older age, black and Native American race/ethnicity, and diabetes were identified as the factors related to a higher probability of AKI during pregnancy. An increased risk of inpatient death and cardiovascular events and a higher health care utilization was reported for hospitalizations with pregnancy-related AKI vs those without AKI.
