Our results show that the introduction of a trust AKI care bundle led to an overall improvement in adherence to the AKI best practice guidelines. However, our results did not show an overall reduction in the number of days to recovery from AKI between the pre- and post-intervention cohorts. Future audit cycles should aim to include larger numbers of patients in order to demonstrate significance across more areas. Future cycles should also encourage the increased use of our AKI bundle physically in the patient notes in order to further improve compliance with best practice guidelines as our results suggest that this subset had higher overall levels of compliance with guidelines.
