To describe the morbimortality associated to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) defined by the pediatric adaptation of the RIFLE criteria in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). ⋯ The development of AKI in critically ill children is associated with increased morbimortality, which is proportional to the severity of renal injury.

Observational Study
[Epidemiological profile of late mortality in severe polytraumatisms].
A study is made of the epidemiology, chronogramand causes of late mortality in traumatized patients. ⋯ Age, severity and type of injuries have an influence upon the time distribution and causality of late mortality. Brain death remains predominant, with multiorgan failure as the most frequent cause. This knowledge should contribute to the identification of problems, and to better organization of the structural and educational resources, thereby reducing the likely factors leading to death from trauma.
