Acute Kidney Injury in Mechanically Ventilated Dogs and Cats, 2015-2023

96 animal records from a retrospective single-institution study at a university teaching hospital from January 2015 to August 2023. The dataset includes 81 dogs and 15 cats undergoing mechanical ventilation management, with an AKI incidence of 26%. Author Zhi H. Hsu published the data on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Predicting acute kidney injury risk based on patient demographics and pre-ventilation status.
• Analyzing the association between survival to discharge and physiological measurements like SpO2.
• Modeling the impact of hospitalization duration on clinical outcomes for critically ill animals.

Strengths

• Contains records for 96 animals (81 dogs, 15 cats) from a defined 8.5-year period (Jan 2015–Aug 2023).
• Includes specific mortality rates (64% with AKI, 50.7% without) and statistical associations for key variables like SpO2.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data is from a single institution, which may limit generalizability.
