Acute kidney injury (AKI) has become a major medical and financial burden in China along with the rest of the world. There have been considerable advances in the understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of AKI. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal care for patients. The Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) 19 meeting focused on identifying and designing relevant and achievable AKI-related studies in China.
The working group developed a list of preliminary questions and objectives and performed analysis of the existing literature. Relevant studies were identified through a literature search using the MEDLINE database and bibliographies of relevant research and review articles. We then used a two-step Delphi process to prioritize a research agenda and proposed specific study designs to address unmet needs.
Important gaps in existing knowledge were identified and pragmatic studies were proposed in three distinct areas: care bundles for AKI prevention, renal replacement therapy (RRT) for AKI, and fluid management. In addition, the use of biomarkers to guide clinical trials was discussed.
Consensus was reached on a research agenda for AKI with a specific focus on pragmatic trials in China.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2018.
All research outputs
#18,212,499
of 27,268,455 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Critical Care
#1,872
of 2,672 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#275,521
of 450,905 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Critical Care
#40
of 56 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,268,455 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,672 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 450,905 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 56 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
