Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with acute kidney injury in preterm newborns. Method: a cross-sectional study based on records data of preterm newborns hospitalized in two neonatal units in northwest Paraná State in 2015. For data analysis, the logistic regression model was used by the stepwise forward method and Fisher’s Exact Test. Results: 132 preterm newborns, with a prevalence of 7.5% of acute kidney injury, were hospitalized. Majority of males, extremely preterm and very low birth weight. Associated factors were the use of non-nephrotoxic antibiotics and the presence of mechanical pulmonary ventilation, increasing the chance of developing acute kidney damage by 2.98 and 1.33/day, respectively. Hospitalization days constituted a protection factor. Conclusion: this study was able to identify the prevalence, and outline the variables associated with acute kidney injury in preterm newborns in a particular care situation.
