Abstract (English): Background and objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and heterogeneous complication among critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), often associated with adverse outcomes. This study aimed to identify phenotypic subtypes of ICU patients with AKI and to evaluate their association with clinical outcomes. Materials and methods A secondary analysis was conducted using the MIMIC-IV database, including a cohort of adults with varying stages of AKI, as well as patients without AKI. Factorial analysis of mixed data, followed by hierarchical clustering, was used to identify patient phenotypes based on a wide range of clinical, demographic, laboratory, and treatment variables. Cluster profiling was conducted using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results Among 1372 patients evenly distributed across stages 0 (non-AKI) to 3 (n = 343 per stage), two distinct clusters were identified. Cluster 2 (n = 671) had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (54.7% vs. 21.9%, p < 0.001), and a greater prevalence of higher AKI stages (p < 0.001). Moreover, cluster 2 showed a significantly greater frequency of sepsis, vasopressors and diuretics administration, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and also higher respiratory and heart rate, and phosphorus. Patients in cluster 2 were a little younger and had a lower arterial O2 pressure and blood pH. A logistic regression profiling model achieved an accuracy (95% CI) of 91.4% (89.8%, 92.8%) in predicting cluster assignment. Conclusions There are two clinically distinct phenotypes in patients admitted to the ICU concerning AKI with strong prognostic implications. The findings highlight the potential of routine ICU data to enable phenotype-based risk stratification in AKI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Antecedentes y objetivos La insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) es una complicación frecuente y heterogénea entre los pacientes críticos ingresados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI), a menudo asociada a resultados adversos. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los subtipos fenotípicos de los pacientes de la UCI con IRA y evaluar su asociación con los resultados clínicos. Materiales y métodos Se realizó un análisis secundario utilizando la base de datos MIMIC-IV, que incluye una cohorte de adultos con diferentes estadios de LRA, así como pacientes sin LRA. Se utilizó un análisis factorial de datos mixtos, seguido de un agrupamiento jerárquico, para identificar los fenotipos de los pacientes basándose en una amplia gama de variables clínicas, demográficas, de laboratorio y de tratamiento. El perfil de los grupos se realizó utilizando un modelo de regresión logística multivariable. Resultados Entre los 1.372 pacientes distribuidos uniformemente entre los estadios 0 (sin LRA) y 3 (n = 343 por estadio), se identificaron dos grupos distintos. El grupo 2 (n = 671) presentó una mortalidad hospitalaria significativamente mayor (54,7% frente a 21,9%, p < 0,001) y una mayor prevalencia de estadios más avanzados de IRA (p < 0,001). Además, el grupo 2 mostró una frecuencia significativamente mayor de sepsis, administración de vasopresores y diuréticos, enfermedad renal crónica, insuficiencia cardíaca y también una frecuencia respiratoria y cardíaca más alta, y fósforo. Los pacientes del grupo 2 eran un poco más jóvenes y tenían una presión arterial de O2 y un pH sanguíneo más bajos. Un modelo de perfil de regresión logística alcanzó una precisión (IC del 95%) del 91,4% (89,8%, 92,8%) en la predicción de la asignación de clústeres. Conclusiones Existen dos fenotipos clínicamente distintos en los pacientes ingresados en la UCI en relación con la LRA, con fuertes implicaciones pronósticas. Los resultados ponen de relieve el potencial de los datos rutinarios de la UCI para permitir la estratificación del riesgo basada en el fenotipo en la LRA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
