Kidney function trajectories and their associated factors among diabetic ICU patients: a group-based trajectory modeling study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

In critically ill diabetic patients, researchers tracked how kidney function changed over time and found links between certain factors — like high blood sugar and low blood pressure — and faster kidney decline. Because this is an observational study, it shows a connection but does not prove cause and effect.
