Since 2012, AKI has been defined according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome) guidelines. As some biomarkers are now available that can provide useful clinical information, a new definition including a new stage 1S has been proposed by an expert group of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI). At this stage, classic AKI criteria are not yet met, but biomarkers are already positive defining subclinical AKI. This stage 1S is associated with a worse patient outcome, regardless of the biomarker chosen. The PrevAKI and PrevAKI-Multicenter trial also showed that risk stratification with a biomarker and implementation of the KDIGO bundle (in the high-risk group) can reduce the rate of moderate and severe AKI. In the absence of a successful clinical trial, conservative management remains the primary focus of treatment. This mainly involves optimization of hemodynamics and an individualized (restrictive) fluid management. The STARRT-AKI trial has shown that there is no benefit from accelerated initiation of renal replacement therapy. However, delaying too long might be associated with potential harm, as shown in the AKIKI2 study. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether artificial intelligence will play a role in AKI in the future, helping to guide treatment decisions and improve outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":49019,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Klinik-Intensivmedizin Und Notfallmedizin","volume":" ","pages":"339-345"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11130018/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140867897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the currently available datasets are too small and exhibit too little diversity due to their limitation to individual hospitals. This lack of extensive and varied datasets is a primary reason for the limited generalizability and resulting low clinical utility of current ML models. Often, these models are based on data from single centers and suffer from poor external validity. There is an urgent need for the development of large-scale, multicentric, and multinational datasets. Ensuring data protection and minimizing re-identification risks pose central challenges in this process. The \"Amsterdam University Medical Center database (AmsterdamUMCdb)\" and the \"Salzburg Intensive Care database (SICdb)\" demonstrate that open access datasets are possible in Europe while complying with the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Another challenge in building intensive care datasets is the absence of semantic definitions in the source data and the heterogeneity of data formats. Establishing binding industry standards for the semantic definition is crucial to ensure seamless semantic interoperability between datasets.</p>","PeriodicalId":49019,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Klinik-Intensivmedizin Und Notfallmedizin","volume":" ","pages":"352-357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140867161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
