Predictors of Health Utility among 60-Day Survivors of Acute Kidney Injury in the Veterans Affairs/National Institutes of Health Acute Renal Failure Trial Network Study

Abstract

Health utility was low in this cohort of patients after AKI, and intensity of dialysis did not affect subsequent health utility. The effects of a lengthy hospitalization generally outweighed the effects of delayed recovery of kidney function on HRQOL after AKI.
