The purpose of our study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes after AKI in critically ill children and identify the risk factors associated with these outcomes. Our central hypothesis is that long-term major adverse kidney events (MAKE; a composite of death, dialysis dependence or persistent kidney dysfunction) is common after AKI in critically ill patients, and identification of risk factors will enable prediction and early intervention, thus reducing the risk of MAKE.
