Impact of integrated clinical decision support systems in the management of pediatric acute kidney injury: a pilot study

Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children, including prolonged hospital stays, increased risk of in-hospital death and future risk of hypertension and progression to chronic kidney disease.
