Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD) are frequent complications of hospitalization, resulting in reduced outcomes and increased cost burden. However, these conditions are only sometimes recognized and promptly treated. Leveraging electronic health records (EHR), we explored the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing AKI and AKD during hospitalization.
