Abstract
Many additional AKI cases may be identified by extending the baseline assessment period; however, added cases may be less severe with lower mortality risk. The relative strengths of these biases and combined effects of reducing misclassification (identification of more AKI cases) and increasing risk dilution (identifying milder cases) may vary across populations. Consensus regarding how baseline kidney function should be determined in database studies should be reached.
