Summary of Study

This request is to support a research study funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment
Research Programme that aims to establish the clinical and health economic effects of moving from
systemic heparin anticoagulation to regional citrate anticoagulation for continuous renal
replacement therapy for patients treated for acute kidney injury on non-specialist ICUs in England
and Wales by linking routinely collected data sources.

Objectives

1. Investigate the short-term benefits, risks, and costs of citrate anticoagulation.
2. Provide information on the subsequent development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
3. Trial the efficient research techniques, that if successful could be used to track the effects of any change in critical care practice occurring in ICUs in England and Wales over a reasonably
   short time scale.

UKRR data are to be used for objective 2
