akiFlagger 0.0.2

Flagger to detect patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).

akiFlagger

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden onset of kidney failure and damage marked by an increase in the serum creatinine levels (amongst other biomarkers) of the patient. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) has a set of guidelines and standard definitions of AKI:

Stage 1: 50% increase in creatinine in < 7 days or 0.3 increase in creatinine in < 48 hours

Stage 2: 100% increase in (or doubling of) creatinine in < 48 hours

Stage 3: 200% increase in (or tripling of) creatinine in < 48 hours

This package contains a flagger to determine if a patient has developed AKI based on longitudinal data of serum creatinine measurements. More information about the specific data input format can be found in the documentation under the Getting Started section.
