Processes of care after hospital discharge
| Process of Care | AKI Follow-Up Clinic | Usual Care | P Valuea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nephrology visits, mean (SD) per patient | 1.9 (1.4) | 0.4 (1.0) | <0.001 |
| Medication changes, mean (SD) per patient | 0.9 (1.6) | 0.6 (1.1) | 0.47 |
| Imaging tests, mean (SD) per patient | 0.2 (0.7) | 0.1 (0.4) | 0.82 |
| Referrals to other health care providers, mean (SD) per patient | 0.3 (0.6) | 0.2 (0.5) | 0.61 |
| Serum creatinine test within 90 days of discharge (among survivors to 90 days), n (%) | 28 (85) | 31 (89) | 0.65 |
| Urine albumin-creatinine ratio within 90 days of discharge (among survivors to 90 days), n (%) | 17 (52) | 6 (17) | 0.007 |
We compared continuous outcomes with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and binary outcomes with the Fisher exact test.
