The model simulated a US cohort of patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 between February 6, 2020, and August 4, 2020, reflecting the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. We estimated new daily cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 requiring CKRT and daily CKRT demand as follows:
Daily CKRT demand due to COVID-19 = (new daily cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 requiring CKRT) + (existing cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 requiring CKRT), where
New daily cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 requiring CKRT = (daily number of hospitalizations for COVID-19) × (incidence of AKI 3D requiring CKRT among hospitalized patients with COVID-19), and
Existing cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 requiring CKRT = (cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 requiring CKRT on the previous day) − (cases of AKI 3D from COVID-19 no longer requiring CKRT on the current day)
