Abstract: | Purpose: to identify factors correlated with poor outcome and factors correlated with acute kidney injury (AKI) onset in critically A(H1N1) infected patients. Methods: All patients admitted for respiratory distress due to a confirmed infection by A(H1N1) virus were included retrospectively. Results: Thirty‐four patients were included. Mean age was 37.3 ± 20.8 years. Independent factors correlated to mortality in multivariate analysis were shock [OR = 32.52, CI95% (1.29–816.3); p = 0.034], AKI [OR = 31.12, CI95% (1.3–746.5); p = 0.034] and hyperglycaemia over than 5.7 mmol/l on admission [OR = 74, CI95% (1.01–5495); p = 0.049]. Only age over 30 years was identified as an independent factor correlated with the onset of AKI [OR = 18, CI95% (1.04‐312.41); p = 0.047] in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: AKI, as well as hypotension, is an independent factor correlated with mortality. Its onset is usually linked to multi‐organ failure. Advanced age is an important risk factor for renal dysfunction in this group of patients. |
