Official Title: Epidemiology of Acute Kidney Injury in England - 1998 to 2013

Brief Summary: The true population incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), previously called acute renal failure, in England is not known. A better understanding of the epidemiology of AKI at a national level is essential to inform initiatives to prevent AKI as well as reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to combine the national database of all hospital discharges with national census data to investigate trends in the incidence of both, AKI not requiring dialysis and AKI requiring dialysis, as well as its associated mortality and its determinants in England between 1998 and 2013
