We report a substantially lower frequency of AKI in VLBW infants as compared to previous studies, along with a very low rate of MV. A neonatal protocol focusing on avoidance of MV within the first days of life may be a key factor to decrease the risk of AKI in immature infants. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
