Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the association of Acute Kidney Injury with the clinical outcomes of patients in the Intensive Care Unit.
Method: this is the clipping from a cohort study with a prospective view, carried out in a private intensive unit in the capital of Sergipe between October 2018 and July 2019. This was a convenience and non-probabilistic sample. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests; Fisher’s exact test and t-Student through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.
Results: a total of 100 patients participated in the study, 29% had acute kidney injury, 62.1% were male and aged 70 ± 16 years. We evidenced an association between injury and infection (p=0.018), mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours (p=0.016), death (p=0.010) and pressure injury (p=0.037).
Conclusion: The study will contribute to the early identification of kidney injury, promoting assistance with therapeutic planning to reduce the complications of the disease.
