Abstract：Objective To analyze the relationship between viral infection and acute kidney injury(AKI)in severe pneumonia patients using propensity score matching(PSM),in order to provide clinical treatment guidance.Methods A total of 169 patients with severe pneumonia,including 77 virus-infected patients and 92 non-virus-infected patients,were selected by a 1:1 propensity score matching method,and were divided into the virus-infected group of 60 cases and non-vi-rus-infected group of 60 cases.The basic data of patients in the two groups were collected,including age,sex,tempera-ture,length of stay,complications,white blood cell count at admission,lymphocyte(Lym)count,hemoglobin(Hb),C-reactive protein(CRP),calcitonin(PCT),prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),D-dimer,sodium,potassium,albumin,PH during hospitalization,PaCO2,PaO2,lactic acid,eGFR,baseline Scr,whether ACEI was used,whether ARB was used,whether diuretics were used,whether hypoglycemic agents were used,and whether glucocorticoids were used.Prognostic data,including AKI,in-hospital death,use of mechanical ventilation(MV)and continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT),were collected in both groups.Results No significant differ-ences were found in the age,gender,body temperature,or other basic data between these two groups(all P>0.05).The incidence of AKI,in-hospital mortality and MV use rate in the virus infection group were higher than those in the non-virus infection group(all P<0.05).The results of conditional Logistics regression analysis showed that viral infection was an in-dependent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe pneumonia(OR=2.982,95%CI:1.068-8.329,P=0.037).Conclu-sion After the confounding factors were excluded by PSM,viral infection was an independent risk factor for AKI in pa-tients with severe pneumonia.
