A randomized clinical trial assessing the effect of automated medication-targeted alerts on acute kidney injury outcome

Nat Commun 14, 2826 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-38532-3 Published May 17, 2023

In this randomized control trial, the authors investigated whether an automated clinical decision support system affects discontinuation rates of potentially nephrotoxic medications and improves outcomes in patients with AKI.

The paper’s lead author, Dr. F. Perry Wilson, discusses the study and answers questions.
