Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between plasma soluble ST2 (sST2) levels 24 h after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients receiving venoarterial ECMO (V-A ECMO) support. METHODS AND RESULTS Data of patients who received ECMO support for postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock between January 2017 and July 2019 were retrospectively collected from Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University. Ultimately, 116 patients were included in the present study for analysis. The concentration of sST2 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The log10 sST2 levels were higher in patients undergoing CRRT than those who did not (6.06 vs. 6.22, p = 0.019). Patients undergoing CRRT had a lower survival rate than those who did not (32.8% vs. 67.3%, p < 0.001). In the univariate logistic regression analysis, sST2, HCO3-, lactate, and creatinine levels 24 h after ECMO initiation were related to CRRT (p < 0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, HCO3- and sST2 were identified as independent risk factors for CRRT use in patients undergoing ECMO (p < 0.05). The area under receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) for sST2 and HCO3- together was 0.72 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.79-0.91), which was better than those of sST2 or HCO3- alone (0.63 vs. 0.67). CONCLUSIONS sST2 and HCO3-levels at 24 h after ECMO initiation were associated with CRRT and could predict CRRT use in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock patients undergoing ECMO.

Abstract
To characterize kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) outcomes and to identify the optimal timing of KRT initiation during ECMO associated with increased survival. Observational retrospective cohort study using the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry database in children (0-18 yo) on ECMO from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020. Of the 14,318 ECMO runs analyzed, 26% of patients received KRT during ECMO. Patients requiring KRT before ECMO had increased mortality to ECMO decannulation (29% vs. 17%, OR 1.97, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (58% vs. 39%, OR 2.16, P < 0.001). Patients requiring KRT during ECMO had an increased mortality to ECMO decannulation (25% vs. 15%, OR 1.85, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (56% vs. 34%, OR 2.47, P < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that the need for KRT during ECMO was an independent predictor for mortality to ECMO decannulation (OR 1.49, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (OR 2.02, P < 0.001). Patients initiated on KRT between 24 and 72 hours after cannulation were more likely to survive to ECMO decannulation and showed a trend towards survival to hospital discharge as compared to those initiated before 24 hours and after 72 hours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of critical illness and associated with high morbidity and mortality. Optimal timing of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) in children is unknown. We aimed to measure the association between timing of initiation and mortality. METHODS This is a single-center retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients receiving CKRT from 2013 to 2019. The primary exposure, time to CKRT initiation, was measured from onset of stage 3 AKI during hospitalization (defined using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes creatinine and urine output criteria) and analyzed as both a continuous and categorical variable. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients met criteria for analysis. Overall mortality was 39% (39/99). Median time from stage 3 AKI onset to CKRT initiation was 1.5 days in survivors and 5.5 days in nonsurvivors (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, increased time to CKRT initiation was independently associated with mortality [OR 1.02 per hour (95% CI 1.01-1.04), p < 0.001]. Longer time to CKRT initiation was associated with higher odds of mortality in ascending time intervals. Patients started on CKRT > 2 days compared to < 2 days after stage 3 AKI onset had higher mortality (65% vs. 5%, p < 0.001), longer median ICU length of stay (25 vs. 12 d, p < 0.001), longer median CKRT duration (11 vs. 5 d, p < 0.001), and fewer AKI-free days (0 vs. 14 d, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Longer time to initiation of CKRT after development of severe AKI is independently associated with mortality. Consideration of early CKRT in this high-risk population may be a strategy to reduce mortality and improve recovery of kidney function. However, there remains significant heterogeneity in the definition of early versus late initiation and the optimal timing of CKRT remains unknown.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, our understanding of the impact of acute kidney injury, disorders of fluid balance, and their interplay have increased significantly. In recent years, the epidemiology and impact of fluid balance, including the pathologic state of fluid overload on outcomes has been studied extensively across multiple pediatric and neonatal populations. A detailed understating of fluid balance has become increasingly important as it is recognized as a target for intervention to continue to work to improve outcomes in these populations. In this review, we provide an update on the epidemiology and outcomes associated with fluid balance disorders and the development of fluid overload in children with acute kidney injury (AKI). This will include a detailed review of consensus definitions of fluid balance, fluid overload, and the methodologies to define them, impact of fluid balance on the diagnosis of AKI and the concept of fluid corrected serum creatinine. This review will also provide detailed descriptions of future directions and the changing paradigms around fluid balance and AKI in critical care nephrology, including the incorporation of the sequential utilization of risk stratification, novel biomarkers, and functional kidney tests (furosemide stress test) into research and ultimately clinical care. Finally, the review will conclude with novel methods currently under study to assess fluid balance and distribution (point of care ultrasound and bioimpedance).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with increased mortality and morbidity. Understanding the risk factors for AKI is essential. This study aimed to identify AKI incidence, risk factors, and prognosis in pediatric patients post-HSCT. METHODS We conducted a retrospective case-control study of 278 patients who were divided into two groups: those with AKI and those without AKI (non-AKI). The groups were compared based on the characteristics and clinical symptoms of patients, as well as post-HSCT complications and the use of nephrotoxic drugs. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the risk factors for AKI. RESULTS A total of 16.9% of patients had AKI, with 8.5% requiring kidney replacement therapy. Older age (OR 1.129, 95% CI 1.061-1.200, p < 0.001), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (OR 2.562, 95% CI 1.216-5.398, p = 0.011), hemorrhagic cystitis (OR 2.703, 95% CI 1.178-6.199, p = 0.016), and nephrotoxic drugs, including calcineurin inhibitors, amikacin, and vancomycin (OR 17.250, 95% CI 2.329-127.742, p < 0.001), were identified as significant independent risk factors for AKI following HSCT. Mortality rate and mortality due to AKI were higher in stage 3 patients than those in stage 1 and 2 AKI (p = 0.019, p = 0.007, respectively). Chronic kidney disease developed in 1 patient (0.4%), who was in stage 1 AKI (2.1%). CONCLUSIONS AKI poses a serious threat to children post-HSCT, leading to alarming rates of mortality and morbidity. To enhance outcomes and mitigate these risks, it is vital to identify AKI risk factors, adopt early preventive strategies, and closely monitor this patient group.

Abstract
PURPOSE Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used for supportive management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and disorders of fluid balance (FB). Little is known about the predictors of successful liberation in children and young adults. We aimed to identify the factors associated with successful CRRT liberation. METHODS The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease study is an international multicenter retrospective study (32 centers, 7 nations) conducted from 2015 to 2021 in children and young adults (aged 0-25 years) treated with CRRT for AKI or FB disorders. Patients with previous dialysis dependence, tandem extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, died within the first 72 h of CRRT initiation, and those who never had liberation attempted were excluded. Patients were categorized based on first liberation attempt: reinstituted (resumption of any dialysis within 72 h) vs. success (no receipt of dialysis for ≥ 72 h). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with successful CRRT liberation. RESULTS A total of 622 patients were included: 287 (46%) had CRRT reinstituted and 335 (54%) were successfully liberated. After adjusting for sepsis at admission and illness severity parameters, several factors were associated with successful liberation, including higher VIS (vasoactive-inotropic score) at CRRT initiation (odds ratio [OR] 1.35 [1.12-1.63]), higher PELOD-2 (pediatric logistic organ dysfunction-2) score at CRRT initiation (OR 1.71 [1.24-2.35]), higher urine output prior to CRRT initiation (OR 1.15 [1.001-1.32]), and shorter CRRT duration (OR 0.19 [0.12-0.28]). CONCLUSIONS Inability to liberate from CRRT was common in this multinational retrospective study. Modifiable and non-modifiable factors were associated with successful liberation. These results may inform the design of future clinical trials to optimize likelihood of CRRT liberation success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality rate of pediatric patients who require continuous renal replacement therapy is approximately 42%, and outcomes vary considerably depending on underlying disease, illness severity, and time of dialysis initiation. Delay in the initiation of such therapy may increase mortality risk, prolong intensive care unit stay, and worsen clinical outcomes. LOCAL PROBLEM In the pediatric intensive care unit of an urban level I trauma children's hospital, continuous renal replacement therapy initiation times and factors associated with delays in therapy were unknown. METHODS This quality improvement process involved a retrospective review of data on patients who received continuous dialysis in the pediatric intensive care unit from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021. The objectives were to examine the characteristics of the children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy, therapy initiation times, and factors associated with initiation delays that might affect unit length of stay and mortality. RESULTS During the study period, 175 patients received continuous renal replacement therapy, with an average initiation time of 11.9 hours. Statistically significant associations were found between the degree of fluid overload and mortality (P < .001) and between the presence of acute kidney injury and prolonged length of stay (P = .04). No significant association was found between therapy initiation time and unit length of stay or mortality, although the average initiation time of survivors was 5.9 hours shorter than that of nonsurvivors. CONCLUSION Future studies are needed to assess real time delays and to evaluate if the implementation of a standardized initiation process decreases initiation time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is common, but its impact on clinical outcomes is variable. Parsing AKI into sub-phenotype(s) and integrating pathologic positive cumulative fluid balance (CFB) may better inform prognosis. We sought to determine whether durational sub-phenotyping of CS-AKI with CFB strengthens association with outcomes among neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure. METHODS Multicenter, retrospective cohort study from the Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network. Transient CS-AKI: present only on post-operative day (POD) 1 and/or 2; persistent CS-AKI: continued after POD 2. CFB was evaluated per day and peak CFB during the first 7 postoperative days. Primary and secondary outcomes were mortality, respiratory support-free and hospital-free days (at 28, 60 days, respectively). The primary predictor was persistent CS-AKI, defined by modified neonatal Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. RESULTS CS-AKI occurred in 59% (205/347) neonates: 36.6% (127/347) transient and 22.5% (78/347) persistent; CFB > 10% occurred in 18.7% (65/347). Patients with either persistent CS-AKI or peak CFB > 10% had higher mortality. Combined persistent CS-AKI with peak CFB > 10% (n = 21) associated with increased mortality (aOR: 7.8, 95% CI: 1.4, 45.5; p = 0.02), decreased respiratory support-free (predicted mean 12 vs. 19; p < 0.001) and hospital-free days (17 vs. 29; p = 0.048) compared to those with neither. CONCLUSIONS The combination of persistent CS-AKI and peak CFB > 10% after the Norwood procedure is associated with mortality and hospital resource utilization. Prospective studies targeting intra- and postoperative CS-AKI risk factors and reducing CFB have the potential to improve outcomes.

Pediatr Res 2024:10.1038/s41390-024-03163-x. [PMID: 38555381 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03163-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BAKCGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of citrate versus heparin anticoagulation for CRRT in critically-ill children. METHODS This retrospective comparative cohort reviewed the clinical records of critically-ill children undergoing CRRT with either RCA or systemic heparin anticoagulation. The primary outcome measure was hemofilter survival time. Secondary outcomes included the comparison of complications and metabolic disorders. RESULTS A total of 131 patients (55 RCA and 76 systemic heparin) were included, in which a cumulative number of 280 hemofilters were used (115 in RCA with 5762 h total CRRT time, and 165 in systemic heparin with 6230 h total CRRT time). Hemofilter survival was significantly longer for RCA (51.0 h; IQR: 24-67 h) compared to systemic heparin (29.5 h; IQR, 17-48 h) (p = 0.002). Clotting-related hemofilter failure occurred in 9.6% of the RCA group compared to 19.6% in the systemic heparin group (p = 0.038). Citrate accumulation occurred in 4 (3.5%) of 115 RCA sessions. Hypocalcemia and metabolic alkalosis episodes were significantly more frequent in RCA recipients (35.7% vs 15.2%, p < 0.0001; 33.0% vs 19.4%, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION RCA is a safe and effective anticoagulation method for CRRT in critically-ill children and it prolongs hemofilter survival. IMPACT RCA is superior to systemic heparin for the prolongation of circuit survival (overall and for clotting-related loss) during CRRT. These data indicate that RCA can be used to maximize the effective delivery of CRRT in critically-ill patients admitted to the PICU. There are potential cost-saving implications from our results owing to benefits such as less circuit downtime and fewer circuit changes.

Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a commonly used therapeutic modality in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for the treatment of severe acute kidney injury, as well as for addressing metabolic abnormalities, fluid-electrolyte imbalances, and acid-base disorders. According to reports, therapeutic hypothermia treatment has demonstrated the ability to decrease cellular metabolism, oxygen consumption, formation of free radicals, cell death, and inflammatory signals. The study encompassed all individuals who underwent CRRT at both Manisa City Hospital and Manisa Celal Bayar University Hospital throughout the period from February 2021 to November 2022. A total of 14 patients who received CRRT were subjected to a warming procedure utilizing an external blanket and an external heater attached to the CRRT venous return line, resulting in the attainment of a body temperature exceeding 36°C. Therapeutic hypothermia was implemented on 12 patients to maintain their body temperature within the range of 32-35°C. The study population exhibited a median age of 24.5 months, with males comprising 61.5% of the sample. A therapeutic hypothermia treatment was administered to a cohort of 12 patients. The patients who had therapeutic hypothermia exhibited a significantly reduced vasoactive-inotropic score (p = 0.038). Patients who did not receive therapeutic hypothermia exhibited a prolonged need for mechanical ventilation (p = 0.020). The duration of stay in the PICU for patients who underwent therapeutic hypothermia was shown to be considerably shorter compared to those who did not receive therapeutic hypothermia (p = 0.047). The potential efficacy of moderate therapeutic hypothermia appears promising, particularly in the context of patients who are receiving CRRT for severe sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. This is attributed to the anti-inflammatory properties and hypometabolic effects associated with this intervention. To the best of our current understanding, this study represents the initial investigation showcasing the effectiveness of combining therapeutic hypothermia with CRRT in the pediatric population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critical illness in children, particularly those with acute kidney injury. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with acute kidney injury treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. METHODS An electronic search using PubMed and an inclusive academic library search (including MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases) was conducted to find relevant English-language articles on nutrition therapy for children (<18 y of age) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS The existing literature was reviewed by our work group, comprising pediatric nephrologists and experts in nutrition. The modified Delphi method was then used to develop a total of 45 clinical practice points. The best methods for nutritional assessment are discussed. Indirect calorimetry is the most reliable method of predicting resting energy expenditure in children on continuous kidney replacement therapy. Schofield equations can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available. The non-intentional calories contributed by continuous kidney replacement therapy should also be accounted for during caloric dosing. Protein supplementation should be increased to account for the proteins, peptides, and amino acids lost with continuous kidney replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with acute kidney injury and on continuous kidney replacement therapy based on the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Fluid assessment, fluid balance, and fluid overload in sick children: a report from the Pediatric Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) conference. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:955-979. [PMID: 37934274 PMCID: PMC10817849 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-06156-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of disorders of fluid balance, including the pathologic state of fluid overload in sick children has become increasingly apparent. With this understanding, there has been a shift from application of absolute thresholds of fluid accumulation to an appreciation of the intricacies of fluid balance, including the impact of timing, trajectory, and disease pathophysiology. METHODS The 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative was the first to be exclusively dedicated to pediatric and neonatal acute kidney injury (pADQI). As part of the consensus panel, a multidisciplinary working group dedicated to fluid balance, fluid accumulation, and fluid overload was created. Through a search, review, and appraisal of the literature, summative consensus statements, along with identification of knowledge gaps and recommendations for clinical practice and research were developed. CONCLUSIONS The 26th pADQI conference proposed harmonized terminology for fluid balance and for describing a pathologic state of fluid overload for clinical practice and research. Recommendations include that the terms daily fluid balance, cumulative fluid balance, and percent cumulative fluid balance be utilized to describe the fluid status of sick children. The term fluid overload is to be preserved for describing a pathologic state of positive fluid balance associated with adverse events. Several recommendations for research were proposed including focused validation of the definition of fluid balance, fluid overload, and proposed methodologic approaches and endpoints for clinical trials.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE There are limited studies describing the epidemiology and outcomes in children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). We aimed to describe associations between patient characteristics, CKRT prescription, and survival. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 980 patients aged from birth to 25 years who received CKRT between 2015 and 2021 at 1 of 32 centers in 7 countries participating in WE-ROCK (Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Diseases). EXPOSURE CKRT for acute kidney injury or volume overload. OUTCOMES Death before intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Descriptive statistics. RESULTS Median age was 8.8 years (IQR, 1.6-15.0), and median weight was 26.8 (IQR, 11.6-55.0) kg. CKRT was initiated a median of 2 (IQR, 1-6) days after ICU admission and lasted a median of 6 (IQR, 3-14) days. The most common CKRT modality was continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. Citrate anticoagulation was used in 62%, and the internal jugular vein was the most common catheter placement location (66%). 629 participants (64.1%) survived at least until ICU discharge. CKRT dose, filter type, and anticoagulation were similar in those who did and did not survive to ICU discharge. There were apparent practice variations by institutional ICU size. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design; limited representation from centers outside the United States. CONCLUSIONS In this study of children and young adults receiving CKRT, approximately two thirds survived at least until ICU discharge. Although variations in dialysis mode and dose, catheter size and location, and anticoagulation were observed, survival was not detected to be associated with these parameters. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY In this large contemporary epidemiological study of children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy in the intensive care unit, we observed that two thirds of patients survived at least until ICU discharge. However, patients with comorbidities appeared to have worse outcomes. Compared with previously published reports on continuous kidney replacement therapy practice, we observed greater use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration with regional citrate anticoagulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023. RESULTS On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points. CONCLUSIONS Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

An overview from the Critical Care Nephrology Section of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC). Eur J Pediatr 2024; 183:529-541. [PMID: 37975941 PMCID: PMC10912166 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05318-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the preferred method for renal support in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) as it allows for gentle removal of fluids and solutes. The most frequent indications for CRRT include acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) as well as non-renal indications such as removal of toxic metabolites in acute liver failure, inborn errors of metabolism, and intoxications and removal of inflammatory mediators in sepsis. AKI and/or FO are common in critically ill children and their presence is associated with worse outcomes. Therefore, early recognition of AKI and FO is important and timely transfer of patients who might require CRRT to a center with institutional expertise should be considered. Although CRRT has been increasingly used in the critical care setting, due to the lack of standardized recommendations, wide practice variations exist regarding the main aspects of CRRT application in critically ill children. Conclusion: In this review, from the Critical Care Nephrology section of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC), we summarize the key aspects of CRRT delivery and highlight the importance of adequate follow up among AKI survivors which might be of relevance for the general pediatric community. What is Known: • CRRT is the preferred method of renal support in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable children in the PICU as it allows for gentle removal of fluids and solutes. • Although CRRT has become an important and integral part of modern pediatric critical care, wide practice variations exist in all aspects of CRRT. What is New: • Given the lack of literature on guidance for a general pediatrician on when to refer a child for CRRT, we recommend timely transfer to a center with institutional expertise in CRRT, as both worsening AKI and FO have been associated with increased mortality. • Adequate follow-up of PICU patients with AKI and CRRT is highlighted as recent findings demonstrate that these children are at increased risk for adverse long-term outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and outcomes in a single-center PICU cohort that received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). METHODS This retrospective study analyzed clinical characteristics, laboratory data, and outcomes. Ninety-day mortality and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) were defined as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were enrolled, all of whom received CRRT for indications including acute kidney injury with complicated refractory metabolic acidosis, electrolyte derangement, and existed or impending fluid overload. The 90-day mortality and advanced CKD were 53% and 29%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that only underlying bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (HR 4.58; 95% CI: 2.04-10.27) and a high pSOFA score (HR 1.12; 95% CI: 1.01-1.23) were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Among survivors, ten developed advanced CKD on the 90th day, and this group had a higher serum fibrinogen level (OR 1.01; 95% CI: 1.01-1.03) at the start of CRRT. CONCLUSION In critically ill children with AKI requiring CRRT, post-BMT and high pSOFA scores are independent risk factors for 90-day mortality. Additionally, a high serum fibrinogen level at the initiation of CRRT is associated with the development of advanced CKD.

Time to Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Initiation and 90-Day Major Adverse Kidney Events in Children and Young Adults. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2349871. [PMID: 38165673 PMCID: PMC10762580 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.49871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance In clinical trials, the early or accelerated continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation strategy among adults with acute kidney injury or volume overload has not demonstrated a survival benefit. Whether the timing of initiation of CRRT is associated with outcomes among children and young adults is unknown. Objective To determine whether timing of CRRT initiation, with and without consideration of volume overload (VO; <10% vs ≥10%), is associated with major adverse kidney events at 90 days (MAKE-90). Design, Setting, and Participants This multinational retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcome Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) registry from 2015 to 2021. Participants included children and young adults (birth to 25 years) receiving CRRT for acute kidney injury or VO at 32 centers across 7 countries. Statistical analysis was performed from February to July 2023. Exposure The primary exposure was time to CRRT initiation from intensive care unit admission. Main Outcomes and measures The primary outcome was MAKE-90 (death, dialysis dependence, or persistent kidney dysfunction [>25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline]). Results Data from 996 patients were entered into the registry. After exclusions (n = 27), 969 patients (440 [45.4%] female; 16 (1.9%) American Indian or Alaska Native, 40 (4.7%) Asian or Pacific Islander, 127 (14.9%) Black, 652 (76.4%) White, 18 (2.1%) more than 1 race; median [IQR] patient age, 8.8 [1.7-15.0] years) with data for the primary outcome (MAKE-90) were included. Median (IQR) time to CRRT initiation was 2 (1-6) days. MAKE-90 occurred in 630 patients (65.0%), of which 368 (58.4%) died. Among the 601 patients who survived, 262 (43.6%) had persistent kidney dysfunction. Of patients with persistent dysfunction, 91 (34.7%) were dependent on dialysis. Time to CRRT initiation was approximately 1 day longer among those with MAKE-90 (median [IQR], 3 [1-8] days vs 2 [1-4] days; P = .002). In the generalized propensity score-weighted regression, there were approximately 3% higher odds of MAKE-90 for each 1-day delay in CRRT initiation (odds ratio, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.02-1.04]). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of children and young adults receiving CRRT, longer time to CRRT initiation was associated with greater risk of MAKE-90 outcomes, in particular, mortality. These findings suggest that prospective multicenter studies are needed to further delineate the appropriate time to initiate CRRT and the interaction between CRRT initiation timing and VO to continue to improve survival and reduce morbidity in this population.

Abstract
Advancements in pediatric dialysis generally rely on adaptation of technology originally developed for adults. However, in the last decade, particular attention has been paid to neonatal extracorporeal therapies for acute kidney care, an area in which technology has made giant strides in recent years. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the kidney replacement therapy (KRT) of choice in the youngest age group because of its simplicity and effectiveness. However, extracorporeal blood purification provides more rapid clearance of solutes and faster fluid removal. Hemodialysis (HD) and continuous KRT (CKRT) are thus the most used dialysis modalities for pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) in developed countries. The utilization of extracorporeal dialysis for small children is associated with a series of clinical and technical challenges which have discouraged the use of CKRT in this population. The revolution in the management of AKI in newborns has started recently with the development of new CKRT machines for small infants. These new devices have a small extracorporeal volume that potentially prevents the use of blood to prime lines and dialyzer, allow a better volume control and the use of small-sized catheter without compromising the blood flow amount. Thanks to the development of new dedicated devices, we are currently dealing with a true "scientific revolution" in the management of neonates and infants who require an acute kidney support.

Renal angina index in critically ill children as an applicable and reliable tool in the prediction of severe acute kidney injury: Two tertiary centers' prospective observational study from the Middle East. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e36713.

Abstract
Acute kidney damage (AKI) is a common cause of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions. Implementing a reno-protective strategy for AKI prediction can significantly enhance outcomes. The renal angina index (RAI) is a risk stratification tool used to predict severe AKI. We aim to assess the reliability and accuracy of the RAI scoring system in predicting AKI as compared to other conventional AKI markers. A prospective, observational study was conducted in the PICU of 2 tertiary medical centers in the Middle East. A total of 446 patients, aged 1-month to 14-years, without chronic kidney disease were enrolled. The RAI was calculated using the renal risk and renal injury score within the first 8 to 12 hours of admission. The accuracy of RAI was compared to changes in serum creatinine from baseline. The outcome was assessed on Day 3 for presence of AKI according to the kidney disease improving global outcome (KDIGO) criteria and associated sequelae. A positive RAI (RA+) was defined as RAI readings ≥ 8. Among the patients, 89 (19.9%) had a positive RAI within the first 8 to 12 hours of admission. The RA + group had a significantly higher occurrence of Day 3 severe AKI (KDIGO stages 2&3) compared to the RA- group (60.6% vs 4.2%, P < .001). The RA + group also had a significantly higher utilization of renal replacement therapy (RRT) (21.3% vs 1.1%, P < .001), longer mean PICU length of stay in days (11.1 ± 3.5 vs 5.5 ± 2.1, P < .001), and increased mortality (31.4% vs 2.8%, P < .001) compared to the RA- group. The RAI score demonstrated superior predictive ability for Day 3 AKI, with a sensitivity of 72%, specificity of 95%, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.837, compared to changes in serum creatinine from baseline (sensitivity: 65%, specificity: 89%, AUC: 0.773), fluid overload (sensitivity: 43.7%, specificity: 79%, AUC: 0.613), and illness severity scores (sensitivity: 52.4%, specificity: 80.5%, AUC: 0.657). RAI proved to be a reliable and rapid bedside test for identifying critically ill children at risk of developing severe AKI. This enables physicians to implement reno-protective measures and intervene early, thereby improving prognosis.

Abstract
Introduction Critically ill admitted patients are at high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The renal angina index (RAI) and urinary biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) can aid in AKI risk assessment. We implemented the Trial in AKI using NGAL and Fluid Overload to optimize CRRT Use (TAKING FOCUS 2; TF2) to personalize fluid management and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation based on AKI risk and patient fluid accumulation. We compared outcomes pre-TF2 and post-TF2 initiation. Methods Patients admitted from July 2017 were followed-up prospectively with the following: (i) an automated RAI result at 12 hours of admission, (ii) a conditional uNGAL order for RAI ≥8, and (iii) a CRRT initiation goal at 10% to 15% weight-based fluid accumulation. Results A total of 286 patients comprised 304 intensive care unit (ICU) RAI+ admissions; 178 patients received CRRT over the observation period (2014-2021). Median time from ICU admission to CRRT initiation was 2 days shorter (P < 0.002), and ≥15% pre-CRRT fluid accumulation rate was lower in the TF2 era (P < 0.02). TF2 ICU length of stay (LOS) after CRRT discontinuation and total ICU LOS were 6 and 11 days shorter for CRRT survivors (both P < 0.02). Survival rates to ICU discharge after CRRT discontinuation were higher in the TF2 era (P = 0.001). These associations persisted in each TF2 year; we estimate a conservative $12,500 health care cost savings per CRRT patient treated after TF2 implementation. Conclusion We suggest that automated clinical decision support (CDS) combining risk stratification and AKI biomarker assessment can produce durable reductions in pediatric CRRT patient morbidity.

Abstract
A standardized, quantified assessment of furosemide responsiveness predicts acute kidney injury (AKI) in children after cardiac surgery and AKI progression in critically ill adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if response to furosemide is predictive of severe AKI in critically ill children outside of cardiac surgery. We performed a multicenter retrospective study of critically ill children. Quantification of furosemide response was based on urine flow rate (normalized for weight) measurement 0 to 6 hours after the dose. The primary outcome was presence of creatinine defined severe AKI (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 2 or greater) within 7 days of furosemide administration. Secondary outcomes included mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay. A total of 110 patients were analyzed. Severe AKI occurred in 20% ( n = 22). Both 2- and 6-hour urine flow rate were significantly lower in those with severe AKI compared with no AKI ( p = 0.002 and p < 0.001). Cutoffs for 2- and 6-hour urine flow rate for prediction of severe AKI were <4 and <3 mL/kg/hour, respectively. The adjusted odds of developing severe AKI for 2-hour urine flow rate of <4 mL/kg/hour was 4.3 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.33-14.15; p = 0.02). The adjusted odds of developing severe AKI for 6-hour urine flow rate of <3 mL/kg/hour was 6.19 (95% CI: 1.85-20.70; p = 0.003). Urine flow rate in response to furosemide is predictive of severe AKI in critically ill children. A prospective assessment of urine flow rate in response to furosemide for predicting subsequent severe AKI is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between fluid balance (FB) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) among children at 1 month following community-acquired septic shock. DESIGN Nonprespecified secondary analysis of the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation. FB was defined as 100 × [(cumulative PICU fluid input - cumulative PICU fluid output)/PICU admission weight]. Three subgroups were identified: low FB (< 5%), medium FB (5%-15%), and high FB (> 15%) based on cumulative FB on days 0-3 of ICU stay. HRQL was measured at ICU admission and 1 month after using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core or Infant Scales or the Stein-Jessop Functional Status Scale. The primary outcome was a composite of mortality or greater than 25% decline in HRQL 1 month after admission compared with baseline. SETTING Twelve academic PICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Critically ill children between 1 month and 18 years, with community-acquired septic shock who survived to at least day 4. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Two hundred ninety-three patients were included of whom 66 (23%) had low FB, 127 (43%) had medium FB, and 100 (34%) had high FB. There was no difference in Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score 3 (median 11 [6, 17]), age (median 5 [1, 12]), or gender (47% female) between FB groups. After adjusting for potential confounders and comparing with medium FB, higher odds of mortality or greater than 25% HRQL decline were seen in both the low FB (odds ratio [OR] 2.79 [1.20, 6.57]) and the high FB (OR 2.16 [1.06, 4.47]), p = 0.027. Compared with medium FB, low FB (OR 4.3 [1.62, 11.84]) and high FB (OR 3.29 [1.42, 8.00]) had higher odds of greater than 25% HRQL decline. CONCLUSIONS Over half of the children who survived septic shock had low or high FB, which was associated with a significant decline in HRQL scores. Prospective studies are needed to determine if optimization of FB can improve HRQL outcomes.

Abstract
Sustained low-efficiency dialysis is a hybrid form of kidney replacement therapy that has gained increasing popularity as an alternative to continuous forms of kidney replacement therapy in intensive care unit settings. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the shortage of continuous kidney replacement therapy equipment led to increasing usage of sustained low-efficiency dialysis as an alternative treatment for acute kidney injury. Sustained low-efficiency dialysis is an efficient method for treating hemodynamically unstable patients and is quite widely available, making it especially useful in resource-limited settings. In this review, we aim to discuss the various attributes of sustained low-efficiency dialysis and how it is comparable to continuous kidney replacement therapy in efficacy, in terms of solute kinetics and urea clearance, and the various formulae used to compare intermittent and continuous forms of kidney replacement therapy, along with hemodynamic stability. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was increased clotting of continuous kidney replacement therapy circuits, which led to increased use of sustained low-efficiency dialysis alone or together with extra corporeal membrane oxygenation circuits. Although sustained low-efficiency dialysis can be delivered with continuous kidney replacement therapy machines, most centers use standard hemodialysis machines or batch dialysis systems. Even though antibiotic dosing differs between continuous kidney replacement therapy and sustained low-efficiency dialysis, reports of patient survival and renal recovery are similar for continuous kidney replacement therapy and sustained low-efficiency dialysis. Health care studies indicate that sustained low-efficiency dialysis has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to continuous kidney replacement therapy. Although there is considerable data to support sustained low-efficiency dialysis treatments for critically ill adult patients with acute kidney injury, there are fewer pediatric data, even so, currently available studies support the use of sustained low-efficiency dialysis for pediatric patients, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill children is rapidly increasing, but the standard of care has not yet been established and prognosis remains poor. To develop optimal CRRT strategies, we launched a research project generating the Japanese Pediatric CRRT registry, a multicenter registry of CRRT in Japanese pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), to investigate the actual status of CRRT in recent years in PICUs, where data are lacking. METHODS This manuscript presents a protocol for planning a multicenter prospective registry. As of April 2023, 15 Japanese PICUs are voluntarily participating. Patients enrolled are those <16 years of age who enter the PICUs of the collaborating institutions, require CRRT, and have the guardians' consent. CRRT is defined as anticipated to be required for >24 hours, and CRRT connected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is also included. The registry is an online registry system managed by the University Hospital Medical Information Network. The primary outcomes are Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category Scale at PICU discharge and 6 months post-discharge (deaths included), persistent need for dialysis, and PICU readmission within 6 months. The secondary outcomes are adverse events during and immediately after CRRT initiation, and initial circuit life span. CONCLUSIONS This project will examine the differences in outcomes of CRRT in PICUs in specific patient and treatment groups and will be used to design future interventional studies. We will also aim to establish a platform for a multicenter registry study in Japanese PICUs, considering the current lack of such a platform.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to understand numerical variation of fluid balance in neonates requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to assess the relationship between hourly fluid balance and mortality. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study. All neonates supported by ECMO were enrolled from October 2011 to September 2017. All of the enrolled neonates were divided into survival group and non- survival group. The numerical value of fluid balance of the enrolled neonates were recorded at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours and 48 hours after initiation of ECMO respectively. The differences between the two groups were compared. The numerical value of fluid balance predict survival by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS Forty-eight neonates were enrolled, in which 35 cases were survival and the survival rate was 72.9%. The numerical value of fluid balance in the survival group were lower than that in the non-survival group at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours and 48 hours after ECMO(all P<0.05). The area under ROC curve at 6h, 12h, 24h, 36h and 48h after initiation of ECMO was 0.835, 0.900, 0.839, 0.909 and 0.974 respectively. There were statistically significant in the numerical value of fluid balance predicting survival (all P<0.05) and a high sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value at the each time point. CONCLUSIONS The negative hourly fluid balance were associated with decreased mortality, and the lower the numerical value of fluid balance in neonates requiring ECMO, the higher the survival rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) has become an integral part of the care of critically ill children. However, uncertainty exists regarding the current state of how CKRT is prescribed and delivered in children. The main objective of this study was to identify the current practices for pediatric CKRT. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the literature from 2012 to 2022 to identify data regarding CKRT timing of initiation, dosing, anticoagulation, fluid removal, and quality monitoring. Using this data, we then performed a two-round modified Delphi process using a multinational internet-assisted survey of prescribers of CKRT. RESULTS The survey was constructed using 172 articles that met inclusion criteria (12% of studies were pediatric focused). A total of 147 and 126 practitioners completed the survey in rounds 1 and 2, respectively. Participants represented Europe (9.5-11.6%) and North America including pediatric intensivists, nephrologists, and advance practice providers. Consensus (defined as a ≥ 75% participant response of "sometimes" or "always") was achieved for 26 statements. There was consensus in the practices of CKRT initiation, dosing, method of anticoagulation, and fluid removal. In contrast, there appears to be greater variability in the methods used for monitoring anticoagulation and the quality of the delivered treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our study results suggest that the current state of pediatric CKRT practice is reflective of the literature over the last 10 years, which is largely based on the care of adult patients. This data provides a framework to study best practices to further improve outcomes for children receiving CKRT. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Introduction Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used for the symptomatic management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO). Contemporary reports on pediatric CRRT are small and single center in design. Large international studies evaluating CRRT practice and outcomes are lacking. Herein, we describe the design of a multinational collaborative. Methods The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) is an international collaborative of pediatric specialists whose mission is to improve short- and long-term outcomes of children treated with CRRT. The aims of this multicenter retrospective study are to describe the epidemiology, liberation patterns, association of fluid balance and timing of CRRT initiation, and CRRT prescription with outcomes. Results We included children (n = 996, 0-25 years) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and treated with CRRT for AKI or FO at 32 centers (in 7 countries) from 2018 to 2021. Demographics and clinical characteristics before CRRT initiation, during the first 7 days of both CRRT, and liberation were collected. Outcomes include the following: (i) major adverse kidney events at 90 days (mortality, dialysis dependence, and persistent kidney dysfunction), and (ii) functional outcomes (functional stats scale). Conclusion The retrospective WE-ROCK study represents the largest international registry of children receiving CRRT for AKI or FO. It will serve as a broad and invaluable resource for the field of pediatric critical care nephrology that will improve our understanding of practice heterogeneity and the association of CRRT with clinical and patient-centered outcomes. This will generate preliminary data for future interventional trials in this area.

Abstract
Fluid overload is common among pediatric cardiac patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and is often treated with in-line ultrafiltration (UF) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We assessed whether CRRT was associated with poor outcomes versus UF alone. Additionally, we identified characteristics associated with progression from UF to CRRT. Retrospective chart review of 131 patients age ≤18 years treated with ECMO at a single quaternary center. Data were collected to compare patient demographics, characteristics, and outcomes. A receiver operator curve (ROC) was used to create a tool predictive of the need for CRRT at the time of UF initiation. Patients who required CRRT had a higher creatinine and blood urea nitrogen at time of UF initiation ( p = 0.03 and p < 0.01), longer total ECMO duration ( p < 0.01), lower renal recovery incidence ( p = 0.02), and higher mortality ( p ≤ 0.01). Using ROC analysis, presence of ≤3 of 7 risk variables had a positive predictive value of 87.5% and negative predictive value of 50.0% for use of UF alone (area under the curve 0.801; 95% CI: 0.638-0.965, p = 0.002). Pediatric cardiac patients treated with ECMO and UF who require CRRT demonstrate worse outcomes versus UF alone. A novel clinical tool may assist in stratifying patients at UF initiation.

Abstract
Fluid restriction and diuretic management are mainstays in the postoperative management of cardiac patients, at risk of volume overload and its deleterious effects on primary cardiac function and multi-organ systems. The importance of fluid homeostasis is further emphasized among orthotopic heart transplant recipients (OHT). We sought to investigate the relationship between postoperative volume overload, mortality, and allograft dysfunction among pediatric OHT recipients within 1-year of transplantation. This is a retrospective cohort study from a single pediatric OHT center. Children under 21 years undergoing cardiac transplantation between 2010 and 2018 were included. Cumulative fluid overload (cFO) was assessed as percent fluid accumulation adjusted for preoperative body weight. Greater than 10% cFO defined those with postoperative cFO and a comparison of postoperative cFO vs. no postoperative cFO (< 5%) is reported. 102 pediatric OHT recipients were included. Early cFO at 72 h post-OHT occurred in 14% and overall cFO at 1-week post-OHT occurred in 23% of patients. Risk factors for cFO included younger age, lower weight, and postoperative ECMO. Early cFO was associated with postoperative mortality at 1-year, OR 8.6 (95% CI 1.4, 51.6), p = 0.04, independent of age and weight. There was no significant relationship between cFO and allograft dysfunction, measured by rates of clinical rejection and cardiopulmonary filling pressures within 1-year of transplant. Early postoperative volume overload is prevalent and associated with increased risk of death at 1-year among pediatric OHT recipients. It may be an important postoperative marker of transplant survival, and this relationship warrants further clinical investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES With the recognition that fluid overload (FO) has a detrimental impact on critically ill children, the critical care nephrology community has focused on identifying clinically meaningful targets for intervention. The current study aims to evaluate the epidemiology and outcomes associated with FO in an international multicenter cohort of critically ill children. The current study also aims to evaluate the association of FO at predetermined clinically relevant thresholds and time points (FO ≥ 5% and FO ≥ 10% at the end of ICU days 1 and 2) with outcomes. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Multicenter, international collaborative of 32 pediatric ICUs. PATIENTS A total of 5,079 children and young adults admitted consecutively to pediatric ICUs as part of the Assessment of the Worldwide Acute Kidney Injury, Renal Angina and Epidemiology Study. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The FO thresholds at the time points of interest occurred commonly in the cohort (FO ≥ 5%Day1 in 38.1% [ n = 1753], FO ≥ 10%Day1 in 11.7% [ n = 537], FO ≥ 5%Day2 in 53.3% [ n = 1,539], FO ≥ 10%Day2 in 25.1% [ n = 724]). On Day1, multivariable modeling demonstrated that FO ≥ 5% was associated with fewer ICU-free days, and FO ≥ 10% was associated with higher mortality and fewer ICU and ventilator-free days. On multivariable modeling, FO-peak, Day2 FO ≥ 5%, and Day2 FO ≥ 10% were associated with higher mortality and fewer ICU and ventilator-free days. CONCLUSIONS This study found that mild-to-moderate FO as early as at the end of ICU Day1 is associated with adverse outcomes. The current study fills an important void in the literature by identifying critical combinations of FO timing and quantity associated with adverse outcomes (FO ≥ 5%Day1, FO ≥10%Day1, FO ≥ 5%Day2, and FO ≥ 10%Day2). Those novel findings will help guide the development of interventional strategies and trials targeting the treatment and prevention of clinically relevant FO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is the preferred modality in critically ill children with acute kidney injury. Upon improvement, intermittent hemodialysis is usually initiated as a step-down therapy, which can be associated with several adverse events. Hybrid therapies such as Sustained low-efficiency daily dialysis with pre-filter replacement (SLED-f) combines the slow sustained features of a continuous treatment, ensuring hemodynamic stability, with similar solute clearance along with the cost effectiveness of conventional intermittent hemodialysis. We examined the feasibility of using SLED-f as a transition step-down therapy after CKRT in critically ill pediatric patients with acute kidney injury. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted in children admitted to our tertiary care pediatric intensive care units with multi-organ dysfunction syndrome including acute kidney injury who received CKRT for management. Those patients receiving fewer than two inotropes to maintain perfusion and failed a diuretic challenge were switched to SLED-f. RESULTS Eleven patients underwent 105 SLED-f sessions (mean of 9.55 +/- 4.90 sessions per patient), as a part of step-down therapy from continuous hemodiafiltration. All (100%) our patients had sepsis associated acute kidney injury with multiorgan dysfunction and required ventilation. During SLED-f, urea reduction ratio was 64.1 +/- 5.3%, Kt/V was 1.13 +/- 0.1, and beta-2 microglobulin reduction was 42.5 +/-4%. Incidence of hypotension and requirement of escalation of inotropes during SLED-f was 18.18%. Filter clotting occurred twice in one patient. CONCLUSION SLED-f is a safe and effective modality for use as a transition therapy between CKRT and intermittent hemodialysis in children in the PICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload (FO) is known to occur frequently after pediatric cardiac surgery and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Fontan patients are at risk to develop FO due to their critical fluid balance. Furthermore, they need an adequate preload in order to maintain adequate cardiac output. This study aimed to identify FO in patients undergoing Fontan completion and the impact of FO on pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay (LOS) and cardiac events, defined as death, cardiac re-surgery or PICU re-hospitalization during follow-up. METHODS In this retrospective single center study, the presence of FO was assessed in 43 consecutive children undergoing Fontan completion. RESULTS Patients with more than 5% maximum FO had an extended PICU LOS (3.9 [2.9-6.9] vs. 1.9 [1.0-2.6] days; p < 0.001) and an increased length of mechanical ventilation (21 [9-121] vs. 6 [5-10] h; p = 0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that an increase of 1% maximum FO was associated with a prolonged PICU LOS of 13% (95% CI 1.042-1.227; p = 0.004). Furthermore, patients with FO were at higher risk to develop cardiac events. CONCLUSIONS FO is associated with short-term and long-term complications. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of FO on the outcome in this specific population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are associated with poor outcomes in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our objective is to evaluate the impact of AKI and FO on pediatric patients receiving ECMO for cardiac pathology. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the six-center Kidney Interventions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (KIDMO) database, including only children who underwent ECMO for cardiac pathology. AKI was defined using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) creatinine criteria. FO was defined as < 10% (FO-) vs. ≥ 10% (FO +) and was evaluated at ECMO initiation, peak during ECMO, and ECMO discontinuation. Primary outcomes were mortality and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Data from 191 patients were included. Non-survivors (56%) were more likely to be FO + than survivors at peak ECMO fluid status and ECMO discontinuation. There was a significant interaction between AKI and FO. In the presence of AKI, the adjusted odds of mortality for FO + was 4.79 times greater than FO- (95% CI: 1.52-15.12, p = 0.01). In the presence of FO + , the adjusted odds of mortality for AKI + was 2.7 times higher than AKI- [95%CI: 1.10-6.60; p = 0.03]. Peak FO + was associated with a 55% adjusted relative increase in LOS [95%CI: 1.07-2.26, p = 0.02]. CONCLUSIONS The association of peak FO + with mortality is present only in the presence of AKI + . Similarly, AKI + is associated with mortality only in the presence of peak FO + . FO + was associated with LOS. Studies targeting fluid management have the potential to improve LOS and mortality outcomes. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes current literature pertaining to fluid management for critically ill children. It includes an overview on crystalloid fluid used throughout the critical illness course, management of fluid output and complications with fluid overload. RECENT FINDINGS Observational paediatric studies and adult randomized trials show mixed results regarding risk of mortality and kidney injury with 0.9% saline and crystalloid fluid. A recent adult randomized trial suggests that a fluid restrictive strategy may be well tolerated in critically ill adults with septic shock, but further randomized trials are needed in paediatrics. Fluid overload has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Trials exploring ways to decrease fluid accumulation must be done in paediatrics. SUMMARY Additional high-quality studies are needed to precisely define the type, timing and rate of intravenous fluid critically ill children should receive throughout their clinical illness course.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective is to assess impact of fluid removal on improvement in organ function in children who received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for management of acute kidney injury and/or fluid overload (FO). A retrospective review of eligible patients admitted to a tertiary level intensive care unit over a 3-year period was performed. Improvement in nonrenal organ function, the primary outcome, was defined as decrease in nonrenal component of Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) score on day 3 of CRRT. The cohort was categorized into Group 1 (improvement) and Group 2 (no improvement or worsening) in nonrenal PELOD score. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors. A higher PELOD score at CRRT initiation (odds ratio [OR]: 1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 1.18, p < 0.001), belonging to infant-age group (OR: 4.53, 95% CI: 4.40, 5.13, p = 0.02) and greater fluid removal during initial 3 days of CRRT (OR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.10, p = 0.01) were associated with an improvement in nonrenal PELOD score at day 3 of CRRT. FO at CRRT initiation (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.93, p = 0.02) and having an underlying oncologic diagnosis (OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.09, 0.85, p = 0.03) were associated with worsening of nonrenal PELOD score at day 3 of CRRT. Careful consideration of certain modifiable patient and/or fluid removal kinetic factors may have an impact on outcomes.

Abstract
Shock in children is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, particularly in resource-limited settings. The principles of management include early recognition, fluid resuscitation, appropriate inotropes, antibiotic therapy in sepsis, supportive therapy for organ dysfunction, and regular hemodynamic monitoring. During the past decade, each step has undergone several changes and evolved as evidence that has been translated into recommendations and practice. There is a paradigm shift from protocolized-based care to personalized management, from liberal strategies to restrictive strategies in terms of fluids, blood transfusion, ventilation, and antibiotics, and from clinical monitoring to multimodal monitoring using bedside technologies. However, uncertainties are still prevailing in terms of the volume of fluids, use of steroids, and use of extracorporeal and newer therapies while managing shock. These changes have been summarized along with evidence in this article with the aim of adopting an evidence-based approach while managing children with shock.

Effect of fluid overload on survival in patients with sepsis-induced acute kidney injury receiving continuous renal replacement therapy. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2796.

Abstract
The association between fluid overload and survival has not been well elucidated in critically ill patients with sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (SIAKI) receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We investigated the optimal cutoff value of fluid overload for predicting mortality and whether minimizing fluid overload through CRRT is associated with a survival benefit in these patients. We examined 543 patients with SIAKI who received CRRT in our intensive care unit. The degree of cumulative fluid overload in relation to body weight was expressed as the percentage fluid overload (%FO). %FO was further subdivided into %FO from AKI diagnosis to CRRT initiation (%FOpreCRRT) and total fluid overload (%FOtotal). The best cutoff value of fluid overload for predicting the 28-day mortality was %FOpreCRRT > 4.6% and %FOtotal > 9.6%. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that patients with %FOpreCRRT > 4.6% and %FOtotal > 9.6% were 1.9 times and 3.37 times more likely to die than those with %FOpreCRRT ≤ 4.6% and %FOtotal ≤ 9.6%. The 28-day mortality was the highest in patients with %FOpreCRRT > 4.6% and %FOtotal > 9.6% (84.7%), followed by those with %FOpreCRRT ≤ 4.6% and %FOtotal > 9.6% (65.0%), %FOpreCRRT > 4.6% and %FOtotal ≤ 9.6% (43.6%), and %FOpreCRRT ≤ 4.6% and %FOtotal ≤ 9.6% (22%). This study demonstrated that fluid overload was independently associated with the 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with SIAKI. Future prospective studies are needed to determine whether minimizing fluid overload using CRRT improves the survival of these patients.

Effect of a standardized fluid management algorithm on acute kidney injury and mortality in pediatric patients on extracorporeal support. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:581-590. [PMID: 36394647 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-022-04699-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid overload (FO), and mortality are common in pediatric patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The aim of this study is to evaluate if using a fluid management algorithm reduced AKI and mortality in children supported by ECMO. We performed a retrospective study of pediatric patients aged birth to 25 years requiring ECMO at a quaternary level children's hospital from 2007 to 2019 In October 2017, a fluid management algorithm was implemented for protocolized fluid removal after deriving a daily fluid goal using a combination of diuretics and ultrafiltration. Daily algorithm compliance was defined as ≥ 12 h on the algorithm each day. The primary and secondary outcomes were AKI and mortality, respectively, and were assessed in the entire cohort and the sub-analysis of children from the era in which the algorithm was implemented. Two hundred and ninety-nine (median age 5.3 months; IQR: 0.2, 62.3; 45% male) children required ECMO (venoarterial in 85%). The fluid algorithm was applied in 74 patients. The overall AKI rate during ECMO was 38% (26% severe-stage 2/3). Both AKI incidence and mortality were significantly lower in patients managed on the algorithm (p = 0.02 and p = 0.05). After adjusting for confounders, utilization of the algorithm was associated with lower odds of AKI (aOR: 0.40, 95%CI: 0.21, 0.76; p = 0.005) but was not associated with a reduction in mortality. In the sub-analysis, algorithm compliance of 80-100% was associated with a 54% reduction in mortality (ref: < 60% compliant; aOR:0.46, 95%CI:0.22-1.00; p = 0.05). Conclusion: Among the entire cohort, the use of a fluid management algorithm reduced the odds of AKI. Better compliance on the algorithm was associated with lower mortality. Multicenter studies that implement systematic fluid removal may represent an opportunity for improving ECMO-related outcomes. What is Known: • Acute kidney injury and fluid overload are associated with morbidity and mortality in children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. What is New: • A systematic and protocolized approach to fluid removal in children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation reduces acute kidney injury incidence. • Greater adherence to a protocolized fluid removal algorithm is associated with a reduction in mortality.

Abstract
Dengue is a mosquito-borne arboviral infection of increasing public health importance. Globally, children account for a significant proportion of infections. No pathogen-specific treatment currently exists, and the current approach to reducing disease burden is focused on preventative strategies such as vector control, epidemiological interventions, and vaccination in selected populations. Once infected, the mainstay of treatment is supportive, of which appropriate fluid management is a cornerstone. The timely provision of fluid boluses has historically been central to the management of septic shock. However, in patients with dengue shock, particular emphasis is placed on judicious fluid administration. Certain colloids such as hydroxyethyl starches and dextran, despite no longer being used routinely in intensive care units due to concerns of acute kidney injury and impairment of coagulation, are still commonly used in dengue shock syndrome. Current guidelines recommend initial crystalloid therapy, with consideration of colloids for severe or recalcitrant shock in patients with dengue. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of septic shock, and consider whether any differences in dengue exist that may warrant a separate approach to fluid therapy. We critically review the available evidence for fluid management in dengue, including the role of colloids. In dengue, there is increasing recognition of the importance of tailoring fluid therapy to phases of disease, with attention to the need for fluid "deresuscitation" once the critical phase of vascular leak passes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Initiation of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) greater than 20% fluid overload is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We aimed to reduce the number of patients initiated on CKRT greater than 20% fluid overload by 50% in one year by implementation of a quality improvement initiative. METHODS This is a prospective quality improvement study set in a pediatric ICU of an urban children's hospital of patients initiated on CKRT over 2 years. The intervention included creation of an electronic health record order for daily calculation of net percent fluid overload, incorporation into daily rounds, and education programs tailored to physicians and bedside nursing. We measured adherence with the new order set, percent fluid overload at CKRT initiation, days on CKRT, timing of first nephrology consultation, and death prior to discharge. RESULTS A total of 32% of patients were initiated on CKRT greater than 20% fluid overload pre-initiative and 9% post-initiative, a 72% reduction over 13 months. Patients initiated on CKRT greater than 20% fluid overload had median CKRT course of 8 (IQR 4-14) vs. 22 days (IQR 13.5-62). CONCLUSION Creating a system using EHR with education may reduce initiation of CKRT after development of severe fluid overload.

Abstract
Background Regional citrate anticoagulant (RCA) is recommended as the preferred anticoagulant regimen for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in adults; however, it is rarely reported in neonates due to concerns associated with their immature liver. Few studies have reported on the use of RCA to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RCA-CRRT in neonates. Method In this retrospective observational study, we reviewed the clinical records of neonates who underwent RCA-CRRT at our pediatric intensive care unit between September 2015 to January 2021. Results A total of 23 neonates underwent 57 sessions of RCA-CRRT. Their mean age was 10.1 ± 6.9 days and mean weight was 3.0 ± 0.7 kg (range, 0.95-4 kg). The mean filter life was 31.54 ± 19.58 h (range, 3.3-72.5 h). Compared to pretreatment values, the total-to-ionized calcium ratio (T/iCa) on RCA-CRRT increased (2.00 ± 34 0.36 vs. 2.19 ± 0.40, P = 0.056) as did the incidence of T/iCa levels >2.5 (11.4 vs. 14.3, P = 0.477), albeit not significantly. Using a post-treatment T/iCa threshold of 2.5, we divided all the cases into citrate accumulation (CA) and non-CA (NCA) groups. Compared with the NCA group, the CA group had significantly higher body weight (3.64 ± 0.32 kg vs. 2.95 ± 0.41 kg, P = 0.033) and significantly lower blood flow rate per body weight ml/kg/min (3.08 ± 0.08 vs. 4.07 ± 0.71, P = 0.027); however, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, corrected gestational age, the PRISM-III score, and biochemical tests. Conclusion RCA-CRRT is safe and effective for neonates. After appropriate adjustments of the RCA-CRRT parameters, the incidence of CA was not higher in neonates than in children or adults, and CA was not found to be significantly correlated with age or corrected gestational age.

Abstract
Excessive accumulation of fluid may result in interstitial edema and multiorgan dysfunction. Over the past few decades, the detrimental impact of fluid overload has been further defined in adult and pediatric populations. Growing evidence highlights the importance of monitoring, preventing, managing, and treating fluid overload appropriately. Translating this knowledge to neonates is difficult as they have different disease pathophysiologies, and because neonatal physiology changes rapidly postnatally in many of the organ systems (i.e., skin, kidneys, and cardiovascular, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal). Thus, evaluations of the optimal targets for fluid balance need to consider the disease state as well as the gestational and postmenstrual age of the infant. Integration of what is known about neonatal fluid overload with individual alterations in physiology is imperative in clinical management. This comprehensive review will address what is known about the epidemiology and pathophysiology of neonatal fluid overload and highlight the known knowledge gaps. Finally, we provide clinical recommendations for monitoring, prevention, and treatment of fluid overload.

Abstract
Children with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) have had a high mortality rate despite the use of advanced renal replacement therapy (RRT). This study aims to determine the clinical outcomes and the predictors of survival in pediatric AKI requiring RRT in Thailand. All patients aged 1 month to 18 years with AKI requiring RRT in the Department of Pediatrics, Ramathibodi Hospital from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2019 were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained through a medical record review. There were 92 patients with a 45% survival rate. Five factors associated with mortality included multi-organ dysfunction syndrome, presence of sepsis, high pediatric risk of mortality III, use of nephrotoxic drugs, and use of vasopressors. By multivariate analysis, the presence of sepsis and the use of nephrotoxic drugs were independently associated with mortality. Patients with fluid overload ≥10% was associated with poor survival.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Extremely low gestational age neonates are at risk of disorders of fluid balance (FB), defined as change in fluid weight over a specific period. Few data exist on the association between FB and respiratory outcomes in this population. OBJECTIVE To describe FB patterns and evaluate the association of FB with respiratory outcomes in a cohort of extremely low gestational age neonates. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This study is a secondary analysis of the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial (PENUT), a phase 3 placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of erythropoietin in extremely premature neonates conducted in 30 neonatal intensive care units in the US from December 1, 2013, to September 31, 2016. This analysis included 874 extremely premature neonates born at 24 to 27 weeks' gestation who were enrolled in the PENUT study. Secondary analysis was performed in November 2021. EXPOSURES Primary exposure was peak FB during the first 14 postnatal days. The FB was calculated as percent change in weight from birth weight (BW) as a surrogate for FB. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was mechanical ventilation on postnatal day 14. The secondary outcome was a composite of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death. RESULTS A total of 874 neonates (449 [51.4%] male; mean [SD] BW, 801 [188] g; 187 [21.4%] Hispanic, 676 [77.3%] non-Hispanic, and 11 [1.3%] of unknown ethnicity; 226 [25.9%] Black, 569 [65.1%] White, 51 [5.8%] of other race, and 28 [3.2%] of unknown race) were included in this analysis. Of these 874 neonates, 458 (52.4%) received mechanical ventilation on postnatal day 14, and 291 (33.3%) had severe BPD or had died. Median peak positive FB was 11% (IQR, 4%-20%), occurring on postnatal day 13 (IQR, 9-14). A total of 93 (10.6%) never decreased below their BW. Neonates requiring mechanical ventilation at postnatal day 14 had a higher peak FB compared with those who did not require mechanical ventilation (15% above BW vs 8% above BW, P < .001). On postnatal day 3, neonates requiring mechanical ventilation were more likely to have a higher FB (5% below BW vs 8% below BW, P < .001). The median time to return to BW was shorter in neonates who received mechanical ventilation (7 vs 8 days, P < .001) and those with severe BPD (7 vs 8 days, P < .001). After adjusting for confounding variables, for every 10% increase in peak FB during the first 14 postnatal days, there was 103% increased odds of receiving mechanical ventilation at postnatal day 14 (adjusted odds ratio, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.64-2.51). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, peak FB was associated with mechanical ventilation on postnatal day 14 and severe BPD or death. Fluid balance in the first 3 postnatal days and time to return to BW may be potential targets to help guide management and improve respiratory outcomes.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is the preferred method of kidney support for children with critical illness in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). However, there are no data on the current CKRT management practices in European PICUs. OBJECTIVE To describe current CKRT practices across European PICUs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional survey of PICUs in 20 European countries was conducted by the Critical Care Nephrology Section of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care from April 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022. Participants included intensivists and nurses working in European PICUs. The survey was developed in English and distributed using SurveyMonkey. One response from each PICU that provided CKRT was included in the analysis. Data were analyzed from June 1 to June 30, 2022. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES Demographic characteristics of European PICUs along with organizational and delivery aspects of CKRT (including prescription, liberation from CKRT, and training and education) were assessed. RESULTS Of 283 survey responses received, 161 were included in the analysis (response rate, 76%). The attending PICU consultant (70%) and the PICU team (77%) were mainly responsible for CKRT prescription, whereas the PICU nurses were responsible for circuit setup (49%) and bedside machine running (67%). Sixty-one percent of permanent nurses received training to use CKRT, with no need for certification or recertification in 36% of PICUs. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration was the preferred dialytic modality (51%). Circuit priming was performed with normal saline (67%) and blood priming in children weighing less than 10 kg (56%). Median (IQR) CKRT dose was 35 (30-50) mL/kg/h in neonates and 30 (30-40) mL/kg/h in children aged 1 month to 18 years. Forty-one percent of PICUs used regional unfractionated heparin infusion, whereas 35% used citrate-based regional anticoagulation. Filters were changed for filter clotting (53%) and increased transmembrane pressure (47%). For routine circuit changes, 72 hours was the cutoff in 62% of PICUs. Some PICUs (34%) monitored fluid removal goals every 4 hours, with variation from 12 hours (17%) to 24 hours (13%). Fluid removal goals ranged from 1 to 3 mL/kg/h. Liberation from CKRT was performed with a diuretic bolus followed by an infusion (32%) or a diuretic bolus alone (19%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This survey study found a wide variation in current CKRT practice, including organizational aspects, education and training, prescription, and liberation from CKRT, in European PICUs. This finding calls for concerted efforts on the part of the pediatric critical care and nephrology communities to streamline CKRT education and training, research, and guidelines to reduce variation in practice.

Fluid Accumulation in Mechanically Ventilated, Critically Ill Children: Retrospective Cohort Study of Prevalence and Outcome. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2022; 23:990-998.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence, patterns, explanatory variables, and outcomes associated with fluid accumulation (FA) in mechanically ventilated children. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary PICU. PATIENTS Children mechanically ventilated for greater than or equal to 24 hours. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Between July 2016 and July 2021, 1,636 children met eligibility criteria. Median age was 5.5 months (interquartile range [IQR], 0.7-46.5 mo), and congenital heart disease was the most common diagnosis. Overall, by day 7 of admission, the median maximum cumulative FA, as a percentage of estimated admission weight, was 7.5% (IQR, 3.3-15.1) occurring at a median of 4 days after admission. Overall, higher FA was associated with greater duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) (mean difference, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.13-1.22]; p < 0.001]), longer intensive care length of stay (LOS) (mean difference, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.12-1.21]; p < 0.001]), longer hospital LOS (mean difference, 1.19 [95% CI, 1.13-1.26]; p < 0.001]), and increased mortality (odds ratio, 1.31 [95% CI, 1.08-1.59]; p = 0.005). However, these associations depended on the effects of children with extreme values, and there was no increase in risk up to 20% FA, overall, in children following cardiopulmonary bypass and in children in the general ICU. When excluding children with maximum FA of >10%, there was no association with duration of MV (mean difference, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.94-1.04]; p = 0.64) and intensive care or hospital LOS (mean difference, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.96-1.06]; p = 0.70 and 1.01 [95% CI, 0.95-1.08]; 0.79, respectively) but an association with reduced mortality 0.71 (95% CI, 0.53-0.97; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In mechanically ventilated critically ill children, greater maximum FA was associated with longer duration of MV, intensive care LOS, hospital LOS, and mortality. However, these findings were driven by extreme values of FA of greater than 20%, and up to 10%, there was reduced mortality and no signal of harm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excess peri‑operative fluid administration is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. We aimed to examine the feasibility of bio-impedance spectroscopy (BIS) to record serial peri‑operative fluid volumes in the pediatric surgical population. METHODS Children who underwent major elective general surgery from March 2019 to March 2020 were included. Total body water (TBW) assessment by BIS was recorded prior to surgery and on subsequent post-operative days (POD). We recorded the duration, tolerance and completion of each BIS assessment. We used Spearman coefficient and Bland Altman analysis to examine correlation and agreement between fluid balance (FB) in ml/kg calculated from intake/output (IO) recording and measured by BIS. RESULTS 20 (87%) of 23 consented patients, median age 2.5 (1-17) years and 13 (65%) male, completed pre-operative and post-operative measurements, and were included in the analysis. Median time required for BIS assessments was 10 (5-15) minutes, and there were no recorded side effects or intolerance. The correlation coefficient for fluid balance measurements on POD 1 between BIS and IO methods was 0.59 (p = 0.01); mean bias (limits) of agreement was 26 (111 to 163) mL/kg. The trend in TBW measured by BIS declined from POD 1-3, while the recorded FB increased. CONCLUSION Bedside BIS is feasible and well-tolerated. Despite moderate correlation between fluid balance assessment by BIS and IO on POD 1, the wide limits of agreement between values from these methods preclude their use interchangeably. The role of BIS in assessment of fluid status in the pediatric surgical population should be further examined. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in children and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In the last decade our understanding of AKI has improved significantly, and it is now considered a systemic disorder that affects other organs including heart, lung, and brain. In spite of its limitations, serum creatinine remains the mainstay in the diagnosis of AKI. However, newer approaches such as urinary biomarkers, furosemide stress test, and clinical decision support are being increasingly used and have the potential to improve the accuracy and timeliness of AKI diagnosis.

Abstract
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal blood purification technique with proven efficacy in a variety of conditions, including in the intensive care setting. It is not uncommon for a critically ill patient to require more than one extracorporeal procedure in addition to TPE. This review focuses on the combination of TPE with other extracorporeal circuits in a critical care setting via a single vascular access (either in-series, parallel, or a hybrid mode) which is often referred to as performing procedures "in tandem." Authors performed literature review via pubmed.gov using search terms: plasma exchange, plasmapheresis, apheresis, tandem circuits, combined circuits, critical care, ICU, CRRT, hemodialysis, and ECMO. Thirty-eight English-language, peer-reviewed papers were appraised that satisfied the content of this review on techniques for combining circuits with plasma exchange, as well as describing the advantages of tandem procedures and potential complications that can arise. Performing these procedures simultaneously can be advantageous in reducing total procedure and staffing time, avoiding placement of additional central lines, reducing overall need for anticoagulation, and limiting multiple blood primes in certain populations. However, the described combined circuits are complex, associated with higher complications, and require a skilled team to understand and mitigate the potential complications associated with these combined procedures.
