    (American Medical Association, 2022-09-01) Goldstein, Stuart L.; Akcan-Arikan, Ayse; Alobaidi, Rashid; Askenazi, David J.; Bagshaw, Sean M.; Barhight, Matthew; Barreto, Erin; Bayrakci, Benan; Bignall, Orville N. R.; Bjornstad, Erica; Brophy, Patrick D.; Chanchlani, Rahul; Charlton, Jennifer R.; Conroy, Andrea L.; Deep, Akash; Devarajan, Prasad; Dolan, Kristin; Fuhrman, Dana Y.; Gist, Katja M.; Gorga, Stephen M.; Greenberg, Jason H.; Hasson, Denise; Heydari Ulrich, Emma; Iyengar, Arpana; Jetton, Jennifer G.; Krawczeski, Catherine; Meigs, Leslie; Menon, Shina; Morgan, Jolyn; Morgan, Catherine J.; Mottes, Theresa; Neumayr, Tara M.; Ricci, Zaccaria; Selewski, David; Soranno, Danielle E.; Starr, Michelle; Stanski, Natalja L.; Sutherland, Scott M.; Symons, Jordan; Tavares, Marcelo S.; Wong Vega, Molly; Zappitelli, Michael; Ronco, Claudio; Mehta, Ravindra L.; Kellum, John; Ostermann, Marlies; Basu, Rajit K.; Pediatric ADQI Collaborative; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Importance: Increasing evidence indicates that acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in children and young adults and is associated with poor short-term and long-term outcomes. Guidance is required to focus efforts related to expansion of pediatric AKI knowledge. Objective: To develop expert-driven pediatric specific recommendations on needed AKI research, education, practice, and advocacy. Evidence review: At the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative meeting conducted in November 2021 by 47 multiprofessional international experts in general pediatrics, nephrology, and critical care, the panel focused on 6 areas: (1) epidemiology; (2) diagnostics; (3) fluid overload; (4) kidney support therapies; (5) biology, pharmacology, and nutrition; and (6) education and advocacy. An objective scientific review and distillation of literature through September 2021 was performed of (1) epidemiology, (2) risk assessment and diagnosis, (3) fluid assessment, (4) kidney support and extracorporeal therapies, (5) pathobiology, nutrition, and pharmacology, and (6) education and advocacy. Using an established modified Delphi process based on existing data, workgroups derived consensus statements with recommendations. Findings: The meeting developed 12 consensus statements and 29 research recommendations. Principal suggestions were to address gaps of knowledge by including data from varying socioeconomic groups, broadening definition of AKI phenotypes, adjudicating fluid balance by disease severity, integrating biopathology of child growth and development, and partnering with families and communities in AKI advocacy. Conclusions and relevance: Existing evidence across observational study supports further efforts to increase knowledge related to AKI in childhood. Significant gaps of knowledge may be addressed by focused efforts.

    The Neglected Price of Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury: Non-renal Implications
    (Frontiers Media, 2022-06-30) Pande, Chetna K.; Smith, Mallory B.; Soranno, Danielle E.; Gist, Katja M.; Fuhrman, Dana Y.; Dolan, Kristin; Conroy, Andrea L.; Akcan-Arikan, Ayse; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Preclinical models and emerging translational data suggest that acute kidney injury (AKI) has far reaching effects on all other major organ systems in the body. Common in critically ill children and adults, AKI is independently associated with worse short and long term morbidity, as well as mortality, in these vulnerable populations. Evidence exists in adult populations regarding the impact AKI has on life course. Recently, non-renal organ effects of AKI have been highlighted in pediatric AKI survivors. Given the unique pediatric considerations related to somatic growth and neurodevelopmental consequences, pediatric AKI has the potential to fundamentally alter life course outcomes. In this article, we highlight the challenging and complex interplay between AKI and the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, growth, functional status, and longitudinal outcomes. Specifically, we discuss the biologic basis for how AKI may contribute to neurologic injury and neurodevelopment, cardiac dysfunction, acute lung injury, immunoparalysis and increased risk of infections, diminished somatic growth, worsened functional status and health related quality of life, and finally the impact on young adult health and life course outcomes.

    Pediatric AKI in the real world: changing outcomes through education and advocacy-a report from the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) consensus conference
    (Springer, 2024) Mottes, Theresa; Menon, Shina; Conroy, Andrea; Jetton, Jennifer; Dolan, Kristin; Arikan, Ayse Akcan; Basu, Rajit K.; Goldstein, Stuart L.; Symons, Jordan M.; Alobaid, Rashid; Askenazi, David J.; Bagshaw, Sean M.; Barhight, Matthew; Barreto, Erin; Bayrakci, Benan; Bignall, O. N., II; Bjornstad, Erica; Brophy, Patrick; Charlton, Jennifer; Chanchlani, Rahul; Conroy, Andrea L.; Deep, Akash; Devarajan, Prasad; Fuhrman, Dana; Gist, Katja M.; Gorga, Stephen M.; Greenberg, Jason H.; Hasson, Denise; Heydari, Emma; Iyengar, Arpana; Krawczeski, Catherine; Meigs, Leslie; Morgan, Catherine; Morgan, Jolyn; Neumayr, Tara; Ricci, Zaccaria; Selewski, David T.; Soranno, Danielle; Stanski, Natalja; Starr, Michelle; Sutherland, Scott M.; Symons, Jordan; Tavares, Marcelo; Vega, Molly; Zappitelli, Michael; Ronco, Claudio; Mehta, Ravindra L.; Kellum, John; Ostermann, Marlies; ADQI 26 workgroup; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality across the life course, yet care for AKI remains mostly supportive. Raising awareness of this life-threatening clinical syndrome through education and advocacy efforts is the key to improving patient outcomes. Here, we describe the unique roles education and advocacy play in the care of children with AKI, discuss the importance of customizing educational outreach efforts to individual groups and contexts, and highlight the opportunities created through innovations and partnerships to optimize lifelong health outcomes. Methods: During the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) consensus conference, a multidisciplinary group of experts discussed the evidence and used a modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on recommendations on AKI research, education, practice, and advocacy in children. Results: The consensus statements developed in response to three critical questions about the role of education and advocacy in pediatric AKI care are presented here along with a summary of available evidence and recommendations for both clinical care and research. Conclusions: These consensus statements emphasize that high-quality care for patients with AKI begins in the community with education and awareness campaigns to identify those at risk for AKI. Education is the key across all healthcare and non-healthcare settings to enhance early diagnosis and develop mitigation strategies, thereby improving outcomes for children with AKI. Strong advocacy efforts are essential for implementing these programs and building critical collaborations across all stakeholders and settings.
