Early prediction of AKI offers an opportunity to mitigate these adverse outcomes, yet existing models often fail to generalize to the emergency department (ED) setting, particularly for patients discharged directly to the community.

AKI was defined using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine-based criteria, and prediction models relied on demographic, clinical, and laboratory data routinely collected during ED care. Extreme gradient boosting algorithms were trained using 4 approaches to handle missing outcome data: incomplete case exclusion, negative outcome assumption, multiple imputation, and inverse probability weighting.
