Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury

Copyright © 2020 by the American Society of Nephrology..

Background: Pregnancy-related AKI (PR-AKI) is increasing in the United States. PR-AKI is associated with adverse maternal outcomes. Disparities in racial/ethnic differences in PR-AKI by race have not been studied.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2005 to 2015. We identified patients who were admitted for a pregnancy-related diagnosis using the Neomat variable provided by the NIS database that indicates the presence of a maternal or neonatal diagnosis code or procedure code. PR-AKI was identified using ICD codes. Survey logistic regression was used for multivariable analysis adjusting for age, medical comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and hospital/admission factors.

Results: From 48,316,430 maternal hospitalizations, 34,001 (0.07%) were complicated by PR-AKI. Hospitalizations for PR-AKI increased from 3.5/10,000 hospitalizations in 2005 to 11.8/10,000 hospitalizations in 2015 with the largest increase seen in patients aged ≥35 and black patients. PR-AKI was associated with higher odds of miscarriage (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.64; 95% CI, 1.34 to 2.07) and mortality (aOR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.25 to 1.88). After adjustment for age, medical comorbidities, and socioeconomic factors, blacks were more likely than whites to develop PR-AKI (aOR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.33). On subgroup analyses in hospitalizations of patients with PR-AKI, blacks and Hispanics were more likely to have preeclampsia/eclampsia compared with whites (aOR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.65; and aOR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.31, respectively). Increased odds of mortality in PR-AKI compared with whites were only seen in black patients (aOR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.55).

Conclusions: The incidence of PR-AKI has increased and the largest increase was seen in older patients and black patients. PR-AKI is associated with miscarriages, adverse discharge from hospital, and mortality. Black and Hispanic patients with PR-AKI were more likely to have adverse outcomes than white patients. Further research is needed to identify factors contributing to these discrepancies.
