Purpose: Early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a major challenge. We developed and validated AKI prediction models in adult ICU patients and made these models available via an online prognostic calculator. We compared predictive performance against serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels at ICU admission. Methods: Analysis of the large multicenter EPaNIC database. Model development (n = 2123) and validation (n = 2367) were based on clinical information available (1) before and (2) upon ICU admission, (3) after 1 day in ICU and (4) including additional monitoring data from the first 24 h. The primary outcome was a comparison of the predictive performance between models and NGAL for the development of any AKI (AKI-123) and AKI stages 2 or 3 (AKI-23) during the first week of ICU stay. Results: Validation cohort prevalence was 29% for AKI-123 and 15% for AKI-23. The AKI-123 model before ICU admission included age, baseline serum creatinine, diabetes and type of admission (medical/surgical, emergency/planned) and had an AUC of 0.75 (95% CI 0.75-0.75). The AKI-23 model additionally included height and weight (AUC 0.77 (95% CI 0.77-0.77)). Performance consistently improved with progressive data availability to AUCs of 0.82 (95% CI 0.82-0.82) for AKI-123 and 0.84 (95% CI 0.83-0.84) for AKI-23 after 24 h. NGAL was less discriminant with AUCs of 0.74 (95% CI 0.74-0.74) for AKI-123 and 0.79 (95% CI 0.79-0.79) for AKI-23. Conclusions: AKI can be predicted early with models that only use routinely collected clinical information and outperform NGAL measured at ICU admission.
