Background: Recently, acute kidney injury defined by small changes in serum creatinine levels was associated with worse short-term outcomes; however, the precision and variability of this association was not fully explored.Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.Setting & Participants: Hospitalized patients.Selection Criteria for Studies: MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for observational cohort studies and randomized controlled trials published from 1990 through February 2007 that provided information for small changes in serum creatinine levels.Predictor: Small acute changes in serum creatinine levels by absolute and percentage of changes in serum creatinine levels (lower threshold for increase in serum creatinine < 0.5 mg/dL or < 25%).Outcome: Short-term mortality (:! 30 days).Results: Compared with controls, patients with a 10% to 24% increase in creatinine levels had a relative risk (FIR) of death of 1.8 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 2.5). By comparison, subjects with a 25% to 49% acute change in creatinine levels had an FIR of death of 3.0 (95% Cl, 1.6 to 5.8), and those with the largest change (>= 50%) had the greatest RR of death (RR, 6.9; 95% Cl, 2.0 to 24.5). Results were similar when absolute changes in creatinine levels were considered and when pooled estimates of adjusted RR were used.Limitations: Individual patient data were unavailable; thus, only group-level data were pooled for meta-analysis. Results showed a significant degree of statistical heterogeneity that was only partially ameliorated by separating studies into subsets based on clinical setting.Conclusions: Short-term mortality and acute decreases in renal function are associated through a graded relationship such that even mild changes in serum creatinine levels portend worse outcome in a variety of clinical settings and patient-types.
