Popis: Introduction Previous studies in term newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy showed that the rate of serum creatinine (SCr) decline during the first week of life could be used to identify newborns with impaired kidney function (IKF) who are missed by standard definitions of neonatal acute kidney injury (nAKI). Methods Retrospective review of the medical records of 329 critically ill newborns ≥27 weeks of gestational age (GA) admitted to a level 4 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We tested the hypothesis that the rate of SCr decline combined with SCr thresholds provides a sensitive approach to identify term and preterm newborns with IKF during the first week of life. Results Excluding neonates with nAKI, an SCr decline
