Description

Francesca Alfieri and many colleagues test an AI model that warns of kidney injury in a 2026 study. Acute kidney injury is a sudden loss of kidney function common in intensive care. Their model gives hourly risk scores for moderate and severe injury, and was upgraded to cope with missing data.

Past records covered 70,107 ICU admissions in three countries across 176 units, with strong scores above 0.89 on a key accuracy measure. A live test in three European hospitals with 329 patients scored from 0.82 to 0.96. Warnings came about 14 hours early on average, which the authors say could aid care.
