Abstract
A large amount of inter-individual variability exists in health-related quality of life outcomes following acute kidney injury (AKI). This study aimed to determine if subgroups of early AKI survivors could be identified based on distinct health utility impairment profiles ascertained at 60 days after AKI and if these subgroups differed in clinical and biomarker characteristics at index hospitalization and outcomes at 1-year follow up.
