TL;DR: Two novel markers for AKI have been identified and validated in independent multicenter cohorts and are superior to existing markers, provide additional information over clinical variables and add mechanistic insight into AKI.

TL;DR: The Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) proposes definitions, staging criteria for AKD, and strategies for the management of affected patients, and makes recommendations for areas of future research, which aim to improve understanding of the underlying processes and improve outcomes for patients with AKD.

TL;DR: The risk of death associated with AKI after cardiothoracic surgery remains high for 10 years regardless of other risk factors, even for those patients with complete renal recovery, so improved renal protection and closer postdischarge follow-up of renal function may be warranted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey the current research on applying deep learning to clinical tasks based on EHR data, where they find a variety of deep learning techniques and frameworks being applied to several types of clinical applications including information extraction, representation learning, outcome prediction, phenotyping, and deidentification.

TL;DR: It is proposed that PICS is the dominant pathophysiology and phenotype that has replaced late MOF and prolongs surgical ICU stay, usually with poor outcome.
