Patients less than 15 years of age and those AKI events that happened less than three months post renal transplant were excluded. Renal allograft and patient survival were recorded at discharge and one-year post AKI. Recovery of renal functions was assessed at three-month.Results: AKI requiring dialysis therapy was identified in 154 (5.1%) patients. At discharge, 115 (74.7%) were alive and 71 (61.7%) of them were dialysis free. At three-month, out of 71 dialysis free patients, 11 (15.5%) had complete recovery, 54 (76%) had partial recovery and six (8.5%) required dialysis again. At one-year, 98 (63.6%) patients were alive and 42 (42.9%) of them were dialysis free.

The study employed demographic summaries, descriptive statistics, regression analysis using Hayes' Process, and regression diagnostics for data analysis. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 27.Results: The participant demographics indicated a majority of male respondents from the medical field, primarily aged between 36-45 years. Most participants had 9-10 or more years of experience in their current position and held graduate degrees in the healthcare sector of Saudi Arabia. Regression analysis using Hayes' Process showed an insignificant negative impact of AI perception on workforce performance (β_1 = -0.0062, p = .315). However, technology readiness significantly moderated this effect, turning it into a positive and significant impact (β_3 = 0.2512, p = .0209).Conclusion: The study demonstrates that while AI perception alone has a negligible effect on workforce performance, its influence becomes significant when moderated by higher levels of technology readiness.
