Associations between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to reflect right ventricular function and acute kidney injury in critically ill patients: a SICS-I sub-study.

In our cohort of acutely admitted ICU patients, the incidence of AKI was 54%. Hemodynamic variables were significantly different between patients with and without AKI. A worse right ventricle function was associated with AKI in the final model, whereas cardiac index was not.
